Warm Winter Wishes

 Yes.

I had to title this post Warm Winter Wishes cause I missed Christmas entirely.

I didn't miss it, miss it...

We actually had an amazing Christmas in the snow at my parent's cabin in the woods.

But I missed it here on the blog.

And as busy as life has gotten,

and 2015 was a banner year for that...

I still want to make sure I  document our Christmas House.

It is one way I mark time.

How much our place changes,

or doesn't

over time.

There is power in place,

in a place where family gathers

where memories are made

where time is marked

and where the month of December is spent

surrounded by lights,

and colors, 

 and smells

 and people

 and music.

 Where December

 is wrapped in Christmas.

In every room

 in every moment

in every memory.

Merry Christmas 2015.

Yes.

A little bit late.

But seriously, if you saw my life leading up to December,

 you would give me a banner just for putting up the decorations.
