Christmas 2015

Well Sparkle toes has brought  one of Santa's  reindeer  for Anna to care for until Christmas  eve. She needs to love up on him so that he has enough  magic to fly. I am happy to report that she is doing a wonderful  job.

As I make some special Russian  style  pancakes for Christmas I am listening to Christmas  music and her play with the nativity  that a dear friend gave her. I am just trying to soak up these moments.  I k ow one day I will long to hear her imaginative stories and seeing her play with the "guys."

I am never want the magic of Christmas to end.

The change

Today marks the change for my blog from public to private. I have shied away from blogging for one major reason. Privacy. I want Anna's life to be her life and not everyone's business but I totally miss that I have not been recording her funny little memories. Now that school for me is almost over I am hoping to be more available to my family and her.
I do want this blog to be there for Anna. So that she will be able to look back and know that I was listening and I was totally enjoying our time together. I am writing this post with her sitting next to me eating M & M that we purchased from our trip to NYC last night and reading as I type. I can not believe that I have a child who can read! We traveled there to see the musical ELF with our friends Michelle, Skylar and Kylie.
I seem so out of practice with writing. I sure hope that I the ease of writing about our experiences will come back to me. Questions Anna has asked recently are "Why can't I glow in the dark?"
