wrapping up

What fun this has been! I have loved LOVED loved reading all of your sweet moments and memories over the past two days. What a refreshing perspective you have offered me. I have to admit it was a bit nerve racking standing at the door of this post before I hit publish: its no fun to throw a party if no one shows up.

So thank you. For showing up. Mostly, thank you for recognizing the importance of noticing smallness with me. Thank you for celebrating finding life in the little things. You have been such an encouragement to me.

If you didn't get a chance to link yet, please continue to do so! I love reading these and cannot get enough of these kinds of posts.

Tomorrow I'll be posting photos of my Christmas garland, as the Nester is having a little party of her own. If you have your garland up, head on over to Nesting Place in the morning and link up!

I enjoyed being a part. Thank you.
I was honored that you took the time to visit my blog and comment.

The thought of enjoying the everyday popped in my head at various times throughout the past week. It was a good thing to have in the back of my mind.

Hi Emily,
A comment from one of your earlier posts sticks with me, and that is we thank you for writing what may have made you nervous, for having the courage to commit it to paper and then sharing it with us. I too have enjoyed additional moments that I may have missed either intentionally or by allowing the noise to drown out the daily gifts because of your insight and encouragement. Thank you doesn't seem like enough!

I missed it, but I'm glad Mr. Linky is working for you!! He melted down on last week. And I just noticed in your profile that one of your favorite songs is The Office theme song.

And that is why I love you.

Emma decided she just wanted to stay and watch Cinderella after she met her. Didn't want to leave the "meeting room" and decided that she wants Cinderella to come home and be her big sister. :) (Even if Cinderella was just dressed up because she didn't look like the real Cinderella...yep she said it. )
