MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Holly by Alyse Neibaur
So the Christmas scenery was great; however, whenever I think I want a white Christmas I am going to try to remember this year. :) We have over two feet of snow on the ground and my car doesn't like it. :( I keep having to watch the low clearance, I have never had these worries the three previous years I've had my car. I spent several hours yesterday shoveling the stuff my dad's four-wheeler couldn't plow. I am a mite sore today. Ah well.
Christmas was wonderful, and I will do a post with pictures and details in the next few days. But, I wanted to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas by doing a special blog every morning. So on the first day of Christmas the thing I'm grateful for is the amazing women in my family.
My mom is my best friend, she so strong, caring and all around wonderful. Rosie is an inspiration to me even though she is so far away. I miss her and hope she knows how proud I am to be her little sister. Alicia is so patient and thoughtful. I know I sometimes get frustrated with her when she wants everything so planned out. But really, that is one of her great strengths. So, sorry about my lack of patience sometimes. :)
My other sisters I acquired through marriage and love. (So while my little brothers can be little brothers at times, I have to be grateful for the women they have married! :) ) Alyse is so talented and I know she doesn't always realize it. She's a wonderful mom, a great wife and an amazing artist. (Thanks again for letting me put up your Holly Elf.) Heather is a wonderful person so fun and willing to talk to me for hours. I am excited to continue to get to know her better. LoriAnn is my sister through love and experience. Thanks for always being there to listen.
I am so blessed to know such amazing women and to call them family. I hope the first day of Christmas is great for them too.
Awwww what a sweet heart you are! :D I am so happy to have such a wonderful fun loving woman like you in my life to call my sister to! I hope this next year we can spend more time together, especially watching the Gillmore girls! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove you Holly!
Aww, that's so sweet of you, Holly! What a great idea for posts! See, you're already a genius at this blog thing. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and we love you, Holly! It is a blessing, privilege, and joy to be your sister! I'm so grateful I finally grew up enough to appreciate it. This past year especially you have gone above and beyond being a wonderful sister. I thank you most sincerely from the bottom, top, and depths between of my heart. Thank you for your example, love, and laughter. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Holly! Your Old Wise One is proud of her Young Sprout!
ReplyDeleteAlyse: I definitely want to watch more Gilmore Girls. It was so much fun that night. Maybe as a New Years Resolution? Though I am not very good at those so perhaps not. :) Thanks for your faith and patience.
ReplyDeleteMichelle and Wise One: Thanks for your encouragement.
Alicia: I think you have it wrong. I am the one who finally grew up enough to realize how lucky I am to live with you. RILUs!
