I'm truly sorry. I feel awful for not sharing the surprise like nine years ago. (I forgot what the surprise even was.) The holidays were fantastically busy and I guess I just got caught up in the important things, such as my adorable family. Alex, I love writing to you. I'm positive that if I never share a link on facebook again you will forever be my only fan. I could just share all of my deepest darkest secrets right here over the internet and be completely confident that no one would ever see them. However there is obviously no reason for that, considering you already know all of my secrets. 

A brief synopsis of Christmas through Darci's eyes... (Darci is my phone. I named her that last year after the love of my life, Mr. Darcy.)

Clever, very clever... haha I laughed for a minute. Or an hour.

Lulu, I miss that fluffy babe.

Listen. It will make you happy.

Here comes the greatest part of this post.. blackberry ice cream with Paige, Shlynn, and Hank. It was fabulous to say the least.

Happiness = Les Miserables + blackberry ice cream + music + ... okay you got me, everything is happiness, I guess it just depends on how you look at it.
