We really did have a White Christmas

With only 20 minutes to spare for a White Christmas, 

the snow came down.   

We woke on Monday morning to a sparkling day.

The holiday season had a lot of hussle and bussle but is was also a wonderful family time.

Some highlights, dear to my heart:

 

Amy flew up from North Carolina -- a short visit but wonderful too!

Victoria returned from London--- just in time!

 And, I got to meet the twins, Anna and Nola

Here they are with big sister, Evie.

Steve and Joann came east from Seattle to spend 5 days with us.

But now in these post-Christmas/pre-New Year days,

I am feeling a lazy kind of relaxation

and enjoying sleeping in, letting the days evolve and become what they may.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
