Santa Visit!

Yesterday, Saturday, December 5th, 2009, we took Bayleigh to the Greenwood Park Mall to visit Santa. For the last several years before going we have stopped at Shelbyville Wal-Mart to get a free 5x7 with their Santa too. (I didn't include that picture with this post).

Bayleigh was very excited to tell Santa in person that she wants a Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster for Christmas this year. We always allow Bayleigh to ask for 1 gift from Santa because we know he is very busy making all the toys for all of the girls and boys in the world. :) The Zhu Zhu Pet is THE, I mean THE item of the year and it is almost impossible to find them in the stores. It is simply an $8 toy that can be found at Wal-Mart and then of course there are a ton of accessories too. It's even all over the news about the demand for them. So, OF COURSE that is what my child wants. I hope she was a good girl this year and gets what she is hoping for. ;)

Everyone keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and my Birthday. This year has been a real struggle for us in different aspects. I have thought long and hard and the truth is, there is no materialistic thing I want. I just want health and happiness. That's all. Of course world peace would be nice too, but keeping it on my door step, that's all I want.

I find myself slipping into a bit of depression in the winter months and I know it is fueled by serveral things. I am trying really hard to keep my chin up and just go with the flow of things. That is really all you can do anyways. I am not going to let my life be controlled by something I choose it not to be controlled by. :) I choose to stay positive. See the good. Find the good when it's not always visible and just be thankful for what I do have. So far, it's working for me. :)

I hope as the holidays are approaching you find yourself enjoying all of the blessings in your life and that Santa is very kind to all of you. :)

Happy Holidays!
Jennifer
