Christmas was just splendid. i so loved being at home with my family.



Christmas dinner at sissy's. hallelujah - my friends and family know better than to have me bring food, but i am always happy to provide the table place cards.

we listened to my dad read the Christmas story for the gazillionth time and we still love it...



new toys..



the boys went skiing...



leaving beatrice and i home to play house for three whole days!!!! no pics - the camera was in colorado.



we had a great time. totally trashed our art room, and i am still digging my way out. i have swaps to prepare for, a tutorial to write, pretties to create, and school to teach.
