Navigating the hilly terrain of motherhood

Today I realized that I haven't really mentioned the holidays here, mainly because approximately 75% of my readers were here with us. We had house guests for eleven days, and it was wonderful. That's right, I never once thought about kicking anyone out into the snow. After all, it was incredibly fun, and joyful, and being together is what this time of year is all about, right?!

One of the best parts was watching two sweet little girls revel in the magic together. From entertaining us with Christmas carols…

To waiting, very excitedly (and fully dressed in their Christmas finest — per their insistence), to go in to see what Santa had brought…

To indulging mommy in a few photo ops…

To spending quality time with their favorite (and very patient) cousin.

And after being surrounded by that much love for so many days, we're feeling a little lonely around here. I guess we'll just have to hug each other a little tighter (which I don't think will be a problem).
