me acknowledging
the abundance of my life
a personal goal
Abundance is the prompt for OSI this week( please check out the others' poems!). I sometimes don't always realize how abundant my life truly is until I really sit down and take stock of how blessed I am to live the life that I do!
My Christmas Break from school was a whirlwind 2 weeks of nonstop abundance of activities involving lots of get-togethers with different groups of friends and family- as well as soccer games, shopping, lunches, dinner, a gift exchange with my stamping friends as well as 2 parties I hosted; a Girl's Night and a White Elephant Party for my teacher friends. I kind of needed a break from Break! Below are some pictures of some of the things I got to do-
A visit to the Christkindl Market in Chicago
The tree at Daley Plaza and the Christkindl Market
A trip into Chicago to see the sights
Learning a new craft
Sledding!!!
High School friends get together at a favorite pizza place
Ornament exchange and dinner with Stitchy Friends
Family get together with cousins for a silly gift exchange
Christmas Eve with family
Christmas Morning!
A Christmas afternoon walk in the woods
A White Christmas !

A Girlfriend sleepover; movies, games, conversation...- this is her backyard
Tea with my sisters-in-laws, mother-in-law and family
New Year's Eve extravaganza
New Year's Day get together to watch the Northwestern football game on tv and look for our niece who works with the team!
