If I were to combine my yesterday and today I would have close to the perfect day:
Making Christmas cookies and paper snowmen with Benson yesterday
Yesterday's best ever(!) baked potato soup and homemade pitas with tuna salad
Today's joy school party with the children SO CUTE as they were singing
One more step in the yearly add-something-to-the-stockings project (last year was making the stocking itself--- this year was the embellishment, hopefully next year will be the names) done while the children slumbered today
Gazing at the Christmas tree in wonderment after watching A Charlie Brown Christmas last night for FHEsigh. perfect.
And I don't mean to be one of these bloggers who paints a ridiculously perfect life for others to feel badly about so you should know that as I type this Benson is pulling on my arm, crying for me to help him clean up his toys, and yesterday I was VERY glad when the little darlings went to bed. I've just gotta write down the good stuff so I can remember these little things that are so easy to forget when everyone is crying and everything is a mess.

call her martha, steph. she deserves it ever more than i do! (no self-pity here, though)
carrie, i don't see why it's ever necessary to apologize for being grateful and happy. come on! you deserve it (martha).
ha. You guys are funny. I do get a ton of ideas from Martha, though.
Pretty soon we'll be calling YOU martha, Steph! Then we'll be the three marthas it will be awesome.
