Merry Memories

After the hustle and bustle of Christmas and Hanukkah I sat down with Sam, Beckie, and Molly to reflect on our wonderful Holiday memories. As we sipped creamy hot cocoa we chatted about what made the Holidays so magical and memorable. We talked about the special gifts we gave and received. And we talked about what we were thankful for. 

Sam was really excited about a few gifts she received this year: a Teddy Bear, music box, scrapbook, and the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. 

Beckie was thrilled with her director's chair and actors set, she loves anything that will help her reach her dream of becoming a famous actress. 

As for me I was really surprised by one very special gift. Grammy found an original Pleasant Co.  doll of me!

When I asked Molly what she appreciated the most from the Holidays, her response touched my heart. 

Molly reminded us that our memories are one of our greatest gifts. A memory alone can bring you the same amount of joy as an object you receive as a gift. In a world of change and constant evolution it's a blessing to have the stability of our memories of Holidays pasts.

Her favorite Christmas memory was from Christmas 2012. That year we celebrated with all our best friends that live with Grammy. It was truly one of the happiest Christmases because we all got to be together.
