“…on the feast of Stephen,”

Dec 2016 christmas day web (1 of 1)-3

From where I sit I'm looking out onto miles and miles of snow covered pines and rooftops.  We were snowed in for Christmas which has its perks.  The day was necessarily spent at home together and a great deal of video chatting happened making our far away family seem not as far.  The little ones got to show their big siblings what Santa brought and we were even able to send delivery dinner to our bachelor sons in Denver.  This is not always the case but, on this day, technology came down firmly on the side of blessing.

The grainfree thumbprint cookies I mentioned before – here.  I told Alannah she could make me these for every major event FOREVER.  So good.  All gone.  I did not share a single one.

We had beautiful pink snow at sunset. Then we said our prayers, loaded up on cookies, and watched Christmas in Connecticut. I hope your day was magical.
