The best part of December this year was that my mom decided to spontaneously spend a weekend with us. The kids and I were sooo happy (and Dal was sick). We went downtown, to forsyth park, and saw the lights at the botanical gardens. It was the best.
The worst part of December was potty training Mae. She showed all of the signs of being ready and it is going horribly. Ok, it's going fine. but I still hate it.
We did a lot of other fun, festive things in December. I made a real effort to start traditions of our own since this was the first year spending Christmas by ourselves.

December was a mix of really happy times creating new traditions, and lonely hard days. I had adjusted to Savannah so well but then it kind of hit me all at once in December for some reason. I am doing much better now and we really do love it here in Savannah. Grateful for my little family who seem to love me even when I am an emotional mess :)
