Merry and Bright

Things have been chaotic and I've lost track of time....  Does this sound like the first sentence of every one of my blog entries?  If so, it is because chaos seems to be the one constant in our lives.  Not bad, mind you.  Just busy.

New owl hat from Etsy artist.
She loves it and frequently wears it in the house.

Speaking of busy...  Anna was a cherub in a local production of The Nutcracker ballet this year.  Once we hit the final rehearsals, I lost an entire week of my life, but I'm glad she did it and that she can add that to her resume of life experiences.

Anna and friend Mady admire themselves.
By the way, those extraordinary ringlet curls are a hairpiece.
Such a lifesaver!

Bravo!

Showtime!
Angels and Cherubs heading to the stage.

Instead of poker, cherubs play "Bubblegum",
just in case you didn't know.

We are winding...up or down, I'm not sure which...for Christmas.  Looking forward to family and friends coming to town.  Christmas and New Year's traditions.  Then I'm certainly ready for nice, quiet January.

So, may your days be merry and bright with beautiful but limited amounts of the white stuff.

Happy New Year!
