There is a spirit and abiding love surrounding the days of Christmas. This year our family was, more than ever before, wrapped in its warmth. My heart felt everything with so much more. The laughter of my babies and the smiles of everyone around me that I love most, and tears, too. We were together, even more.
Sarah and Mark surprised us by coming to stay Christmas Eve. I got the call and ran out for wine and great food to share. When they came, it felt so right. We had the most cozy dinner at Jack Stack BBQ, so perfect on Christmas Eve with its dark stained woods, flickering fire places and twinkle lights.
Greta and Jack got to open a gift and were totally bummed that it was Christmas Pajamas for each and a big book. But, the books they received have brought so much joy! They each got Where the Sidewalk Ends, and A Light in the Attic. I knew they would like them.
Up to bed. Not a bit sad!
Perfectly excited little ones!
It took a little while to get up to bed. Too excited.
Tucked in tight, and fighting heavy eyelids.
Goodnight and please hurry, Santa Claus!
Santa came, and loves us extra hard this year.
