a very good christmas

We had a really good Christmas. I hope that all of you did too. There were dinosaurs and Cabbage Patch dolls, Legos and books. Max and Cora were showered with love and new toys. Happy kids were they:

That was my best Christmas morning picture. Ho hum. Better luck next year Mommy!

All the decorations are all packed away, because in a couple short weeks the major demolition and remodeling of our house will begin! So excited. (And a little nervous.) The living room/stairway is about to look a lot different!

January is always one of my most favorite times of the year--and I am especially looking forward to all the new things this year. New year, remodeled home, new baby...

Lots of work ahead!
