the sun was shining this morning and it was very cold out . .
greg prefers not sharing his panettone with cricket . .
zuzu is very interested in all the excitement . .
i'm looking forward to reading this book myself . . (the grid, by gretchen bakke)
i've been commenting about how fun it would be to have a cappuccino foam maker, and morgan found one online at the last minute . .
hmmm . . cricket thinks it's very nice too.
"poe-ka" dots . . one of my favorite finds at the new york public library gift shop for josh . .
we all enjoyed watching each other open the gifts we had picked out . .
or the ones that were handmade, like this one from korrina to morgana.
uh oh! cricket is very much into the christmas consumer spirit of enjoying one's gifts in a very visceral way.
there were some very loud exclamations when this was opened . . (thank you san) . .
a brisk walk . . (17 degrees F) . .
ending the night with caroling around the christmas tree . .
merry christmas . .
Lovely pictures
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful Christmas

Hello Siobhan . . thank you . . xoxo
DeleteWhat a cozy day and even some real candles? I saw "London Clay" while in London. I thought it looked interesting, but we already had too many books . . . Beautiful singing! Did the cats try to jump into the tree? And so many thoughtful presents :).
ReplyDeleteThankfully, the cats stayed out of the tree, and I love singing a few songs with the candles lit.
DeleteI think it is much more festive to sing with candlelight!
DeleteYes, it feels very peaceful . . much more calm.
