Christmas with My People

I made one Christmas gift this year.  One.  I will show it to you in another post. 

 

As I scrolled through the photos I took very randomly at Christmas-time, I realized that they were all of my people.  I'm so glad.  Maybe I do have my heart in the right place, focusing on what matters, living in the moment. 

 

Honestly, this Christmas has stressed me out with work deadlines combined with more socializing than we've had at other Christmases.  But tonight as I post my favorite Christmas photos, I am grateful and peaceful. (linking up with Leila and Rosie's pretty/happy/funny/real)

Daddy tries to explain how to tell time to Ben; Ben was much more interested in the backlit face on his new watch.



New headlamps for the children and the husband - everybody needs more light in the winter!  Actually, a few days after Christmas, my husband's best friend told me that guys always want lights and knives.  And sure enough, my husband is wanting a new pocketknife and I didn't know it!  Next year.



ohhhhh, we had FUN with the deluxe English crackers and their paper crowns that Aunt Mel brought.

 

A treat:  ice cream with dear friends who moved to Kansas this summer and came back to visit.

 

A cousin spontaneously gives Great-Grandma a hug, a sweet moment in a boisterous, joyful gathering.

 

And you, dear readers, are my people, too.  I hope your Christmas was merry and full of wonder and all your favorite people.  You're one of the big reasons I enjoy this bloggy business. xoxoxo
