A Twilight Tour

The fleeting minutes of twilight are my favorite time of day.

In those few bewitching moments, the sun dips below the horizon and the world just seems to dance and glitter.

And the magic and wonder of Christmas is just even more breathtaking!

 Can I just say how very glad I am that I took these pictures last week before a leak necessitated taking our main Christmas tree down?  On December 11.  *boo hoo hoo hoo*  Worst of all?  Not one.single.thing has even been started on the repair.  Not one iota of work.  I have come to terms with the fact that the tree is not going back up this year and just hope that we aren’t ringing in 2014 with a hole in the ceiling.

Now, back to the good stuff…

The littles were positively thrilled to rub elbows with some of their favorite holiday characters…     …and Cookie… Read More

Five

I can hardly believe it – my baby is five.  My baby.  He is a true joy in every respect.  He’s easy going, kind, helpful and smart.  He’s the most practical member of our family and not much ruffles his feathers.  Those baby blues make it hard to ever say no!  He’s quick to laugh… Read More
