From that quiet moment on Christmas Eve (when the carpets smelled fresh and sparkled in the glow of the Christmas tree lights) until now....a quiet moment on the couch in the glow of the those same lights, on those same sparkly carpets....so much has happened.
Christmas Eve Seafood Feast was much enjoyed with friends and family.
The Christmas tree was overwhelmed by the gifts.
It was a Christmas morning like no other - a pajama party with grandparents and the Hofs family and us.....with our teenagers in their much desired onesies.....
We ate, we chatted, we rocked Parker to sleep a couple times, we played with Penelope, we watched movies, we ate more.....It was a charming day.
On Boxing Day we threw all kinds of things in suitcases and boxes and headed to the Cabin...through snowy weather....we dug in....and settled in for 4 quiet, peaceful and relaxing days.
It snowed.
It was sunny.
We read, ate, snoozed, slept, walked, chatted, laughed, threw snowballs, took photos.... repeat, repeat, repeat......
We drove home in sunlight dazzling us on the snow....had coffee with a dear friend on the way and came home to this.....
After we calmed the neighbours down and called the pranksters (who we still love) .....we did the laundry, unpacked, caught up on facebook and emails, showered.....and now to savour the fact we have another whole week before school starts up.... this long awaited and much anticipated vacation is well underway and its lovely effects are taking hold just as they should!
