Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dec 21, 2009 by Peggy Nolan

Christmas is days away and this year I’m sending everyone in my blog community a Christmas Card! Ok – think of it as a cyber card filled with lots of love and happy wishes for a peaceful and abundant New Year!

See my blog roll for a special shout out to my favorite blogs – I try to visit each one as often as I can. Some I read more than others, some I comment on more than others, but please know that if I’ve linked to you it’s because you offer so much in your daily or weekly postings!

My family grew in 2009 with the addition of my beautiful grand daughter, Olivia and my new son-in-law, Jon. In 2010 I will see two more daughters get married, one in April or as she says “sometime in 2010″ and the other in July.

Oliva Grace, born June 15, 2009

Jon and Katie, getting hitched on August 28, 2009

No year, in my mind, is complete without a vacation somewhere WARM…

Richard and I spent a lovely time in the Turks and Caicos in May with my two sisters, their husbands, and my mom and her husband…(I grew up in the blender with my “step” sisters and “step” mom – we dispensed of the “step” a long, long time ago.)

(I’m in the pink bathing suit, Richard’s behind me)

I’m looking forward to 2010…are you?

Merry Christmas

&

Happy New Year

Lots of  “bonus” mom love,

Peggy

I will be back December 28th with the last few articles based on the Arbinger Institutute’s pinciples on conflict resolution and how they may apply in your life as a stepmom!
