We actually had a really good holiday over here. We celebrated both St. Nick's (an Ukrainian holiday) and Christmas. For the first time, I'm going to start celebrating Kwanzaa.
Now before any of you give me the proverbial side eye, I need to explain. Growing up, my parents never celebrated Kwanzaa. In fact, they'd never mentioned it. I didn't learn about it until I was in high school. Over the

I've been meaning to post an update regarding our TTC but just haven't been able to sit down to have some time to do it. Well, here it is!

My Dearest Ethan,
Not a day that goes by when I don’t think about you. You were originally scheduled to arrive in April 2012 but you made your appearance on December 13, 2011. It was the most wonderful two hours of my life and I will forever cherish your birthday.

Can I tell you how hard it is to do a daily vlog? We really don't have anything happening all the time to warrant a daily vlog so this is new to me. But I love a challenge and well, vlogmas is a challenge!
