Fire....that's what I need. I need to build a fire in the fireplace. It's so crazy cold here that no matter what you set the thermostat at, it still feels frigid.
You guys are the cutest -- I know that sounds so smarmy, but it's true. Despite the intensity of your family's ups and downs, despite the intensity of life in general, light just shines out of your eyes.
I love those!! I especially like the one with all the chilluns and the puppies! They all look like they are talking in doggie voice: "Who's the cutest puppy of all?? you are you are you are!!" heheh!
Mmm, the sequined mask and gingerbread house! And snoozing dog & stack of books by the fire. My kind of Christmas.
We made 4 gingerbread houses. Although they were all condemned and collapsed under the weight of thick white icing and gumdrops. The kids didn't mind though, neither did our tummies...
It looks like a wonderful Christmas. It's treat to get this behind the scenes view, to slip into someone else's lounge room and to share in the laughter.
Lora do you mean the owls on the tree? I have two heavyweight owls but I don't think they are in these pictures- they are on top of my bookshelf. The tree ornaments are from 1 my daughter for Christmas and 2 a friend of mine who I think got them at Target? i love owls. i got my heavyweight owls at a thrift store and adore them.
what i thought love was is so much less than what it is

"Her looks fading, the vain Lispector became increasingly reclusive and demanding. Addicted to cigarettes and sleeping pills, she exhibited erratic and sometimes imperious behavior. She would call friends in the middle of the night and flee dinner parties for little apparent reason. She had a reputation for being a liar."-<em>NYT on Clarice Lispector
My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
Love the pics! Thanks for sharing. I should really get around to posting some too. I really like your fireplace. Looks so warm and cozy!

I am with Elizabeth, the journey must be rough but the travelers are dear. And Lola is indeed as Ms Moon said, an artist. Genes, those pesky genes...
Looks like Lola's Santa has some moves!
