Christmas: the good

Despite some very memorable disasters, we are now able to look back fondly on Christmas. A week of having the kids back in school, although I am still sick, has definitely helped. Here's a few of the things that went right.

An uncle who builds a sledding launch pad and then stays out in the cold to play.


Gingerbread cookies to decorate and eat every day for a week.

The first-ever family Nativity play, complete with costumes, props, and scenery.

Getting the present from Santa that you really, really wanted.

Girl toys--and no one to have to share with.

Your very own book, all about you!


Christmas morning with the people you like best, and in fabulous new pjs to boot.

i love the picture of Charlotte and her girl toys. Cherish those moments, right? Way to capture the sweetness, although she seems to be that way more than not. Love the updates. Let me know when you are done with the book!

I was worried about what would happen if Seth didn't get that Batman toy. He's been talking about it for weeks, even to me!
