December 5

These two cuties live on the family room couch right now. (I put them in front of the tree temporarily for their photoshoot to maximize their already-obvious seasonal significance.)

I like soft, comfortable things like Squishmallows. (Seriously, they make the best pillows.) I also like things that are cute. So it makes me smile to look across the room and see Jordan the gingerbread boy and Carol the Christmas tree smiling back at me.

They're small things for sure, but they make me smile. And I am grateful for the grins because smile lines are much better than frown-induced wrinkles.

(And PS, Abby, this one's for you.)
