Thank you for inspiring me to start "Dear Life" which is a blogger letter to the person/thing you love and why. I love the idea of sharing the things I am most grateful for. You are always a great inspiration to me. Thanks for being so awesome, this one is for you.
Dear Christmas,
Thank you for all the magic that you bring. Not necessarily presents, but moments in time when the world seems perfects. Thank you for:
Little girls and boys in their Christmas outfits (especially the big frilly dresses)
The 12 days of Christmas
The Advent Calendar (I love the little treats each day)
Festival of Trees
Gingerbread houses (even if I did order premade gingerbread online since I can't make it!)
Lights at Temple Square
Caramel apples
Christmas concerts (Peter Brienholt, Kirt Bestor, Forgotten Carols)
Receiving Christmas cards in the mail (finally something that's not bills)
Watching/reading the Nativity Story
The blooming Amaryllis Flower
This is the Amaryllis. I took this picture on the night that it snowed all night. There was so much light outside and it was casting a beautiful shine on the flower. In the past this flower only has one bloom, but ours had four flowers that came out this time. It is so fun to watch it bloom in the middle of winter.
The other two pics are recent ones of Liam. One with the hat that has stayed on his head all week whenever we go out since its been so
cold outside. The other with him drinking from a glass. He loves drinking from a cup way more than using a sippy. We'll see how that goes!

What a good idea! It is all the little things in life that make moments! Christmas is such a fun time of year! Liam is so big- look at him in his hat and drinking out of a cup! Big boy! Can't wait to see you on Sat. Call me when you get a sec!
Dear Ikea,
Thank you for supplying beautiful flora and fauna! I appreciate the opportunity I have had to nurture such a glorious red amaryllis. I am also glad my favorite person in the world Gaby was able to grow a twiner amaryllis. May you continue to bring Christmas cheer to all those who partake of your fashionable low-priced Swedish goods!
Yours Truly,
I love reading your entries because it feels like I just had a good conversation with you, maybe that's why it doesn't seem like it's been as long as it really had since i've talked to you! I miss you! I've just been stranded because our truck needs some repairs but seth is too busy with finals plus I've been preoccupied sleep training, but we need to get together soon!!!
Gaby your entries are so fun! You are so creative! Haha. I like your idea about 90's movie night. I think maybe we should start with "Can't Buy me Love" with the young McDreamy...Patrick Dempsy. That might be an 80's movie...but it would be a fun old one to watch!
So- I just wanted to tell you how cute both you and Liam are! You are such a great mom, and Liam is the most adorable little boy! Thanks for the good times yesterday! Lets "play" again soon!
