The Snowmen I've started collecting.
The girls' bedroom doors.
This silver tray by the front door holds this years Christmas cards.
The pretty and bright paper chain Emma and I made for her room out of scrapbook paper.
The glass cloche on the study shelves.
I'm not sure what happened to this Christmas season. It flew past in a flurry of preparations and excitement, I suppose. I was really looking forward to relishing these days before the big day arrived. I enjoy the days before, the most. I love the anticipation of what is to come. I love the time spent enjoying my family and the peace of the season after all of the shopping, wrapping and baking is done. I wish for all of you a wonderful holiday filled with gifts. The gift of love, of happiness, of friends, of good health, of dreams fulfilled and of dreams yet to dream. I have already received all of these gifts, so it matters not what I open on Christmas morning. I am blessed to have found each of you and this new world that has opened my eyes and mind to so many new things. Thank you all for being my gifts. I hope I can return the favor one day.
