HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! This post is filled with photos from Christmas but I wanted to acknowledge that I am very excited for the new year. I'll share more in a following post, but let's just say I've been ready for 2017 to be over and I'm taking the opportunity of a new year to get serious about practicing some long-desired habits.
Before we get to 2018 though, I want to recognize the sweetness of Christmas day - after a flurry of activities the week before, Christmas day was slow and I savored every bit of that. My sister Sharon and her husband Paul came down to spend the day with us, and it was such a treat to have them around the house all day, with no other agenda except to spend time together. They were wonderful about spending lots of time playing on the floor with the girls (who adore them!) and my sister and I even got to have a few hours to talk and catch up after the kids went to bed and the guys went to go watch Star Wars. Lots of lovely moments from this day, but some of my favorites were: watching Sloane giddy with excitement about giving Logan her gift of a stuffed dog (which Logan LOVES. "I KNEW she would love it!" Sloane shouted with joy), opening stockings, homemade peanut brittle (courtesy of Mignon), watching Sharon play games with Sloane, chatting with Paul about life, Christmas spaghetti, and putting the girls to bed together with my sister.
