and now it's all over.

for now.
as much as i love christmas and everything that comes with it, i am anxious to move forward.

2012 is right around the corner.
i think it's going to be an awesome year.
the year we bring home davis.
the year i start an etsy shop (coming very soon!)
the year i put our health and happiness above all else.
i can't wait.

merry christmas to you, sweet friends, and a very happy new year too!
thank you for cheering on our family this past year and for being such a big source of encouragement and support!
xoxo!
