And It Was...

very merry and oh so very special. Truly a wonderful Christmas was had here, yesterday we got back from visiting Ethan's family after having spent Christmas here together just the three of us at home. We are slowly getting into the swing of things again and that includes discovering what photos were captured over the past few days. Here are some favorites so far.

A shot of our tree here at home on Christmas Eve Night:



Ethan's special Christmas morning pancakes (complete with chocolate chips for face-making):



Getting started in on the fun stuff (according to Zoey):



And, thank you Grannie Annie for the dollhouse furniture:



The crown that I made for her was a perfect fit:



To say that she loves her new microphone would perhaps be an understatement:







And then off to the lake for some sledding:







And then back home again with Larry:



So very blessed we are, especially have been reminded of that this year. Thankful for these times spent together and that we choose to spend our days the way that we do.

The last several days have consisted of skiing, getting lost in some new, good books, listening to good music and eating good food. Visiting loved ones and sharing laughs, stories and then our farewells.

Back soon with more photos from our visit with family...
