Getting back in the groove

Happy that the snow is falling.
Hanging garlands and Christmas lights.
Planning to make a gingerbread train with Bean.
Writing.
Making photo albums.
Feeling more like myself than I have in months.

What are you doing? I’ve missed you.

This photo made me smile and all sorts of Christmas bells and carols went off in my head
Thank you! It’s such a dreary day here in Germany today. I will take care of my stollen now – two little monsters in my oven … Season’s Greetings!

So pretty.

Gorgeous photo. This should be your Christmas card!

That door looks like it leads straight to Santa’s house…perfectly Christmas-y!
As for me, I just let Thomas ‘help’ me decorate the Christmas tree. It went better than I expected – at least it was ME and not HIM who broke two ornaments! And…I’m getting ready to turn thirty next week. Gulp.

Is that your front door? It’s beautiful! I love it!
(to answer your question, we’ve been busy doing boy stuff, of course!)
