Merry Christmas, all!
It's literally ONE. WEEK. AWAY!!!! Whaaaaattttt???
Do you and your family have any special plans this year? This will be Gabe's first Christmas! And with most of my family close by, we'll be celebrating at home. :]
I know I missed all of my posts last week, and with Christmas around the corner, my activity here will be few and far between. With the exception of this post, I'll have at least one---maybe two!---more. Stay tuned tomorrow! I'm taking part in a blog tour. :D :D :D

What do ya think? Are there any more names you might add to this little list? We could add the nickname of Jolly, and maybe Ivy to the mix. What think ye??
On another note, my blog turned six years old on December 3rd!!! And I TOTALLY missed it. *cue facepalm* I had been blogging a few years before starting this one---first on my mother's blog, then on one I shared with my sisters---but SIX years?? Wow! I remember turning to my mother then and saying, "I've been thinking of starting a blog of my own, and I've got an idea for a name: Sarah, Plain & Average! What do you think?" And it all began from there. :] Here's to lucky number seven!
Awwww! I love this set of names. How perfect! I've always LOVED the name Noelle. It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my goodness, your blogiversary was this month? :O Aaaahhhhh! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! *throws confetti* I love your blog so, SO much. It's been such a joy getting to know you. Your posts always bless me! I can't wait for many more years of Sarah, Plain and Average. Though a more fitting name would be Sarah, Beautiful and Awesome! ;D
