It's begining to look a lot like...

Ahh, who am I kidding?  It is in the mid-70's and sunny.  This is our third Christmas in San Antonio and I can't get used to the hot holidays.  Short and t-shirts again this year.  When we are in the house with the Christmas tree lit watching a holiday movie I can almost forget how hot it is outside and enjoy the holiday.  I don't mind the weather during Thanksgiving but there is something about a white snowy Christmas.

It appears Santa came early this year.  Jackson has more presents than any 8 month old should have.  I am sure its going to take him forever to open even one!  This year my hubby and I are not exchanging gifts.  I didn't even get him a card.  We have been through so much this year that no card or gift can compare to how lucky we are to have each other (I feel a little more lucky).  It will be gift enough when we get to move back to Maryland and we get just one night to go out to dinner and a movie!

Today is my first day without steroids and I feel it.  My wrists were sore this morning and the skin on my face is a little sensitive but other than that I am doing okay.  I still have the allergies I am fighting so I have a sniffly nose and a headache but that seems to be getting better too.  It looks like I might be able to enjoy the holidays without too many symptoms after all (crossing my fingers).

Today's Blessing:  A quiet dinner with friends and the glorious ham I know is waiting for me!
