Like everyone I suppose, for us the Christmas season went by in a flurry of preparation, celebration, working, and playing. But the past week has been a time to slow down, savor, and enjoy our little family.
(playing in the snow a few weeks ago)
Our Christmas celebration was very sweet and very simple. After spending a cozy morning at home we headed up to Mum Mum and Popeye's house for Christmas dinner. Gifts were quite minimal...I made each girl a winter bonnet and a sock monkey and they each got a new winter book, along with some little items in their stockings. We also like to celebrate the "12 days of Christmas" (the days between Christmas and Epiphany, January 6th) so each day the girls have a very little gift in their stocking. The best gift of all, however, was the birth of our new cousin/niece on New Year's Eve! Congratulations Dave and Stephanie! Welcome Evelyn!

Happy New Year!
