Pure sugar with blonde hair.

As we were driving home tonight from my family birthday party (which ROCKED!! Thank you, mom and grannie!) we purposefully went the long way. Our first thought was that maybe the kids would fall asleep in the car only to be carried to their waiting beds. But it was pretty evident that they were way too hyped up on sugar and good tidings for anything resembling sleep.

Or quiet for that matter.

Well, the long way in our town is completely decked out in holiday splendor. Out every window there were twinkly lights and beautiful displays. The kids could not stop OOOHHHing and AAAHHHing.

Loulabelle started the trip home with tears over her beloved Blankie. In our rush to leave the house, we "accidentally" left it behind. She became especially excited to see all the sparkle. When we were almost home she said, "Cwismas lights make me happy when I am missing my blankie. They make me so happy."

Girl, you are pure sugar wrapped in blonde curls. I can't wait to see the magic in your eyes as we decorate your Cwismas tree this year. It will make me so happy.

Maybe you will be too happy to remember where we "accidentally" deposited blankie...
