Kyra is showing off her new Santa ornament--we were oblivious for some time that Grandma had tucked a beautiful silver necklace inside--how many Christmases might that have gone unnoticed???
It's only right to select a picture of Lucas that is blurred--he didn't stop moving from dawn until dusk. One of his fabulous cousins was flipping through the photos last night and said, "Lucas just doesn't take a normal picture, does he?" Indeed, he is a stand up comedian at age four--and his holiday routine was bigger than most!
Our Christmas tradition....baking Grandma Phyllis's candy cane rolls. We live for this moment each year, and celebrate how she is still part of our holiday. Kyra bakes with a bit more attitude than her grandmother did, I suspect, but it's a loving tradition for us all.Just a few glimpses into our very happy Christmas day--celebrated in CT and NY, with relatives from CT, NY, OR and MA! What a gift!

Wonderful photos -- so glad you had a beautiful day! Every time I see candy canes around the house, I think of your mom's famous recipe. I have yet to start any kind of food-oriented tradition like that with my kids -- turns out I really don't like to have them in the kitchen with me. Too distracting, too many looming mistakes ...
Have a terrific night tonight with your friends! Sending our friendship off into yet another new year, growing in beautiful ways with each tick of the clock ...
Love to all of you!
Hey! Are those your mom's candy cane rolls in the image that you use??!!
I'm salivating! :)
