Christmas this year was sweet and local. Just the way we wanted it. Eve was spent was friends and finding the best Christmas lights. The morning was spent with Lena. Watching her find so much joy and wonder in all her gifts under the tree.
My sister came over and we spent the morning at my aunts, then Skyler's parents, and then my aunts again. Both homes are about 5 minutes away from our own so it was nice to not drive far.
Lena's doll and matching cape I made for her.
At Aunt Gail's.
At the Sr. Carr's.
I made Gingerbread Stained Glass Cookies. Our home smelled and sounded like Christmas. Since Christmas day though our family has not been its best. Skyler hurt is shoulder and Lena and I have been feeling under the weather. Today we are putting Christmas away, taking it easy and playing with our new toys. The sun is bright and crisp and it makes me look forward to the new year. 2015. Year of the Sheep. Hopefully a good year of sweet memories and new adventures.
She loves her barn with animals, ballet slippers, and baby doll the best. I hope we all start to feel better over the next few days and that New Year starts with a smile and a kiss.
