Day 1: Our Nightly Snuggle Spot

So I got this idea from a friend. Every day for the next year I am going to take a picture. It can be of anything so long as it represents that day. I am not a photographer so my pictures will not be artistic in any way. They will just be a way to help us remember the special moments that come from the everyday things. We are terrible about taking pictures. Even on the special events, like vacations, we bring the camera but forget to use it until the last day. I guess that is good in a way because it means we are busy enjoying those moments. Still I think it is important to capture those memories when you can. This is my way of being intentional. So here is Day 1:

Here is some background. I had just put Lydia to bed and was washing some dishes when Noah ran into the kitchen and said "Mommy, can we make cookies?" I thought his daddy sent him in but it turned out to be all his idea. ;-) So we popped some cookies in the oven, put blankets and pillows on the floor, lit the fire and the three of us snuggled. This is a nightly ritual (minus the cookies). Usually the boys spend this time arguing about whose princess I am and seeing who can give me the most kisses. I am one blessed lady! This picture would have been better if I had taken it before we all headed to bed but you get the idea. I know we wont have these nightly snuggles forever so I want to enjoy them while I can and remember them when they are gone.
