Day 158

Well it's Christmas Eve, eve and I have still so much to do!!! I just now am starting baking cookies. We still have Christmas presents to wrap and I just feel like it all isn't going to get done. 

And then I sit down and think....that's not all that's important. What is important is that we will all be together Christmas and that is such a blessing. Not everyone has that luxury, and we do. So I should just be thankful for that. 

We are actually eating pretty healthy for the holidays. Since we have never had our own Christmas we can set whatever traditions we want. And those are what are important. Those are what Alayna will remember. The traditions. 

So tonight, as I write late and bake cookies with my daughter, remember your traditions. They are what people remember more than gifts or food or anything. The memories you make are what last!!! 

Goodnight everyone!!!
