The Year without Monkey Bread

(Otherwise titled “when life hands you a puke bucket!)

Yep that pretty much sums up our Christmas break. I was pretty bummed to say the least. No Christmas Eve service. No Christmas dinner. No Monkey Bread or Christmas breakfast. Not even all the presents had been finished.

But despite all of that, we were together, we were warm and sheltered from crazy snow storms, and we were relaxed. We are going on two weeks of this now and pretty much everyone is better except for me. My stomach takes a little longer especially eating dairy when I am sick but my focus is better. I hate being sick, but I am grateful for it because I might have missed some pretty amazing moments….AND I don’t think I would have started reading my daughters first chapter book with her. Well at least I am reading it to her!

This Christmas season was not just riddled with sickness, there have been some other major trials too. I will write more about that over the coming weeks.

But for now i will leave you with a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
