The Wonders of the Season

Lights

Snowflakes

Live Nativity Animals

Hot Cocoa and Cookies

Olives eaten off your fingers is a delight...

A personal can of olives from your Christmas stocking shared with others off your fingers is gross bliss!

Reconnecting with Cousins

Frigid outdoor adventures with speed!

Receiving a photo from the distant son. 

Slowing the pace to allow nature to seep into our souls.

Christmas Morning Mayhem

Making new friends

Decorating highlights

Whilst decorating, I told Emerson to turn around so I could take a picture of him with the sparkling lights of the Christmas tree.

This is what he did.

I asked him to not have such a grumpy face.

This is what he did.

How about a smile?

This is what he did.

A big smile?

This is what he did.

Then he began to flap his arms and flew off.

He returned to direct the rest of the decorating.
