Sunday Snaps

We put up Christmas decorations this past week...

Saw an abundance of Florida's aviary wildlife...

Pokey decorated outside as a surprise when I went to pick up Hobbit from school...

Epic first project of Round 3 - answered challenge, team unity and magic points.

More of the Florida aviary wildlife that was so abundant in our neighborhood this week...

Still trying to come to terms of not being a complete family this Christmas.

This week has been full of joy and only a few tears... and some of those were even for joyous reasons.  I hope that your week was full of more joy than tears, or even full of joyous tears.  Holidays can be difficult, especially when they don't turn out as you had envisioned them.  The trick is to sit back, look at what you do have and  be thankful - learning to live with what you have been blessed with will make a person far happier in the long run than the one who sat around pining for what others are in possession of - and this is a lesson hard learned for me this Christmas.

I'm trying though.. and I should at least get credit for that, don't you think?
