This the season of giving, and Santa was very good to us this year.  Among our newest additions are…

Yummy things like this fabulous fresh rosemary tree, and a huge assortment of delicious nuts…

Fun things like this CHOCOLATE trivial pursuit game, and fabulous personalized doggie cloaks (don’t they looks so regal!?!)…

Useful things like my coveted yoga towel (Kath!  Yay!!) and yoga carrying tote, as well as this flexible camera tripod…

And sentimental things, like this beautiful framed collage that Sarah made me – my blog banner surrounded by all the fabulous comments from you guys, that make me feel like this writing has a purpose.  Or this charm bracelet that my mom made – something old, something new – from an old bracelet of my great Aunts (with her name plate), complete with charms for all the different phases of my life.

But this isn’t a post about what was under the tree for us this year.  It’s a post about the real gifts of Christmas.  And this year they didn’t come down the chimney… 

They came in the front door.

A house that spun for days on love, laughs, food, fun, and family.  I am slightly in denial that it flew by so quickly, but we are already onto the next celebration…

Happy Birthday Casey!!  You are a gift to me each and every day…
