Hugs & kisses

I love this picture and have tried posting it so many times with no luck. Although it isn't a Christmas photo I am still going to try again. Jim is eating a box of Catoris chocolates in this one.He always got a scaled down version as one of the little gifts for his Christmas stocking and Jimmy loved his chocolate covered pretzels and turtles! This was taken on our infamous Nags Head family fishing vacation that I mentioned very early in this blog. It was the night we arrived and everyone was running on empty...except for Jim. He was pretty wound up (probably because he snoozed during the drive down while Frank & Gabe did all the driving??) and I'm not sure if it was the chocolate, the special lady in his life then or just plain old friend and family "together time"! This vacation was awesome in more ways than one and it created so many fun memories to cherish! It made for some priceless family time, too. So many things to be thankful for...

Merry Christmas, sweetheart! I love you!!!

Thanksgiving...

you were in my heart...I love you!
