Back from the (happy) depths of Christmas

*gasps for breath*

Wow, I survived! This Christmas was a whirlwind.

• My mom and sister came and had a blast with N; 
• we did lots and lots of baking; 
• I finally sewed the stockings; 
• celebrated with family on Christmas eve
• went to church, and had brunch with family again on Christmas day. 

It was wonderful. Now I am exhausted. But happy.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Merry Christmas! (albeit a little late)

Winter wonderland

So nothing crafty to show for... yet. I'm still working on the stockings and the santa hats, except for N.'s (you can see her wearing it on the picture below). In the meantime, here's what we've been doing:

Lots of snow: 

pulling N. on a sled:

Visiting a handmade crafts store on a farm:

I love the holidays.


How are yours going?
