LBH - nights to remember

As you can tell, some effort is going into more blog posts. The end of the year is upon us and I realized that the hard-bound memory book I have printed out every year full of all the blog entries and pics is going to be super slim this year! So I'm beefing up my efforts ... I would hate the girls to not know how awesome their life was in 2011!

Do you ever shut your eyes and daydream about your "safe" place? The place in your mind that you go to whenever you need to escape? The place where nothing bad can happen and all is right with the world? My safe place has changed a few times throughout the years and as of last weekend I have a new safe place.

Jamie was out of town so the girls and I decided to invite Nana over for a slumber party. The girls picked out pizza rolls and bagel bites for dinner and Nana brought the popcorn for the movie. The four of us, 3 generations, were cuddled up in my bed. Bodies touching, sharing body heat while linked together and I thought ... this is a little bit of heaven (LBH). The feeling of comfort, thankfulness and love filled my entire body. From now on, when I need to close my eyes and take a trip to my "safe" place, I will travel back in time to this night, to my bed where I got to spend an evening laughing, snuggling and sharing secrets with my mom and daughters.

The girls were watching the backs of their eyelids by 7:30.

Quinnie likes to sleep with her BB around her neck.  Sounds safe huh???
