Christmas 2013 and a New Year

We spent this Christmas at the cabin!  It was wonderful and magical, and with all our decorations in storage, I only ended up missing a real tree with the red beads, and fake candied fruit.  The real components of a successful celebration were there: kids trying to be good, stockings, presents, Christmas cards, Isaac as baby Jesus, cinnamon rolls at Donna’s  on Christmas Eve, and a visit to the new house.  Well, you don’t need a new house to be built for a merry one but it’s really exciting to be sure.    451 453 475457 462  476Embracing simple living here, and not wanting 5 more pairs of pjs added to the laundry, “pj elf” left basketball shorts for the oldest 4, red or white, and green ninja turtle pjs for Ikie.  The colors were correct, but the coziness and matchy factor, were a bit missed.

Sporting curl formers, resulting in ringlets that rival Caroline’s.

Yay! Weren't those stockings previously embroidered with different names? I am impressed. Scary about the upturned car.
