Amidst the piles of sprinkles, green and red frosting and finger licks, little hands worked tirelessly to decorate the perfect cookie. Messes were made and even sweeter memories were crafted by little hearts. I love this time of year not because of the lights or the gifts; I love this time of year because it brings people closer together. It is about remembering why we celebrate and letting love lead our hearts and time together. The end result is often very happy and tired kids, but how fun to look back on these days and recount how blessed we truly are.
