🌼I am grateful for this day. Today my son and I spent Christmas lunch with family as well the rest of the afternoon. The highlight for me was the time spent with my niece. She is 6 and usually very shy around me. Today I became the object of her attention. We painted each other’s nails and made bracelets together. She talked my ear off too. It was a wonderful experience that I will forever treasure. I am grateful for this day. 🌼
🌼I am grateful for the opportunity to keep the magic of Christmas going for one more year for my son. I am so close to pulling this off. He is downstairs monitoring the Christmas tracker with a beady eye. Definitely a bit sceptical but not ready to give up believing in Santa yet. I had to phone a friend to get him out of the house so I could get his gifts from the car and wrap it. I have now snuck them close to the tree so that when the opportunity strikes, they will magically appear under the tree. Crossing my fingers I don’t get caught. I think I am more excited than him! I am grateful for the opportunity to keep the magic of Christmas going for one more year for my son. 🌼
🌼I am grateful for the little things. This evening I decided to do a soak off of my gel nails at home for the first time. (Ok ok truth be told I forgot to make an appointment and actually had no choice🤦🏽‍♀️). I enlisted the help of my little man. What a lot of fun we had wrapping my nails in foil and then trying to remove the gel from my nails. He went into “beauty parlour mode” and had his “southern belle” accent down pat. He had me in stitches. I think he needs drama classes. Best hour of the day! I am grateful for the little things. 🌼
