catching up

Christmas came and went with a lot of joy and a lot of sorrow. I think that Christmases to come will be a mix of these emotions as we remember Mom and miss her being with us. For now it's an every day kind of grief that hits each time I realize she is no longer here.

The kids embraced Christmas with a lot of joy as they found treasured items wrapped under the tree. They had fun making this gingerbread house a few weeks before Christmas. Davin couldn't believe his luck - candy and icing all in one place!
