The smell of pine. Carols coming down the hall and through the walls. Tis the season. While we don't celebrate Christmas, we take this time to be with family.
Over the past weeks, I've been holding Gates a little longer and a little tighter. My heart goes out to all the families unable to do the same right now. Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you're taking the time to keep family close and be thankful.
Earlier in the month, we celebrated Chanukah. At eight months, Gates is a little too young for us to explain the history behind the minor holiday. For her, it's about getting to tear paper. Gates loves anything paper and enjoys grabbing an edge and ripping.
This is my last post for 2012. I'll be taking a break until the new year, spending time with family. I'll be back on the first with some classes to help you kickstart your 2013 resolutions.
Happy Holidays
Ciao Bella!
