What a month we’ve had full of holiday celebrations.
First we celebrated Hanukkah:
Then we counted down to Christmas, making handmade ornaments for our first full-sized tree and wreaths to decorate our entryway, sewing elf stockings for our family, and baking gluten-free treats:
Tonight I wrapped the presents and stuffed the stockings while David cleaned the kitchen, and voila! We’re all ready for Christmas Day:
After all this creative fun, we need a breather…
We’re going to blog lightly over the next few weeks, still posting daily photos Monday through Friday, but relying on less text, as we take a mini-blog vacation to recover from the whirlwind of the past few weeks and gear up to celebrate Carrie’s grandmother’s 80th birthday in January.
Hope you have a lovely holiday and enjoy your New Year celebration. May you find the comfort of warmth and light in this season of darkness. The solstice is past us, we’re heading towards Spring!
We’ll see you in 2011!
