Holidays in the Brief

Well, we celebrated Christmas.

Spencer was a stinker almost the entire day. 

Like embarrassingly so.

And I was sick.

Terribly sick.

But, other than that, it was pretty nice.

Here are some pictures of the kids the Sunday before Christmas in nice church outfits….that I did not make.

 

 

 

 

And some sugar cookie decorating and eating.

 

And because I was so sick on Christmas Eve, the kids decorated and set the table.

It’s charming in it’s own way.

While we were in Ohio one of the vendors at a flea market was selling these paper lanterns.

I bought them for New Year’s Eve.

And actually remembered that I had them

AND where I had put them.

We wrote wishes on them.

They were a huge hit and pretty easy to do.

My wish was to be more patient and meek.

And, ironically enough,

my lantern totally got stuck in our tree.

Five feet above my head.

And it was the only one.

So, yeah, I don’t know what that means.

But probably something significant.

Here’s to a new year,

{maybe without as much patience and meekness as I had originally anticipated…}
