Christmas Moments

My sister IMed me today, "How come there isn't a "This moment" this week?" Uh… because I totally forgot. I sort of shut off the days of the week as soon as the kids' school was out on winter break. I'm usually so tied to time, it's been great to just let it go, knowing that I don't have to tune back in until Christmas, house guests, and a visit to family have gone by.  

But here are a few moments from this last week: baking cookies for Santa, Christmas morning, our annual after-Christmas-before-New-Years ginger bread house making, and a wintery view of our house.

I'll be back next Friday… whenever that is.

Happy New Years!
