I LOVE your list! Many of those are on mine, especially sleep in until 10 (is that even possible?)! Your girls were so itty bitty and now I bet they fit perfect in those granny bloomers! You should take another pic of them in those to compare! Love you so much! I'm drinking the hot cocoa with extra marshmallows in my bathtub with you in spirit!

Perfect list - it's so important to remember to enjoy all the little moments (and I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one out there who listens to Amy Grant =))
