Merry Christmas!

Family, friends, lights, beauty, snuggling in, and creating magic in the middle of the darkest days of the year. A generous, white-bearded man in a red suit who dedicates his entire year to getting ready for that one special night each year, snow (3 1/2"), making wishes come true, stories of love and miracles, celebrating the people in your life with time together or a thoughtful gift, remembering what truly matters.

Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, abundant New Year to you, those that you love, and really everybody everywhere.

Santa's laugh was infectious. I was laughing in spite of myself.

Santa came!

Corvin asked Santa for an airplane

Train whistle - woot! woot!

wooden train whistle and slide whistle

Chocolate boulders

Santa brought PB dog treats, but not enough to make her fat.

Happy Halloween!

This was the year that Halloween clicked for Corvin and Mazzie and they had a blast. They may look a little glum (particularly Corvin) in these pictures, but that was because they refused to nap at nap time, then promptly fell asleep on the car ride to Boulder.

We did the Munchkin Masquerade on Pearl Street in Boulder (Halloween for little kids trick or treating businesses), then we took a little break for dinner and pumpkin carving and headed out for a short second round of trick or treating in our neighborhood. Revved up on lollipops and chocolate, Corvin and Mazzie were racing from door to door trying to be the one to ring the bell. Pure magic.

Happy Halloween!

Today we are three

Happy birthday, Corvin and Mazzie!
