On the Eve

Such a great day. 

We’d planned to do a big family picture today 

Isaac, 9, challenged Pop to a game of chess; me and Breanne; Travis outgrew his kicks so now they belong to mom!

before Leia left to spend Christmas with her mom,

but the weather and logistics conspired against us. 

So we hung out, 

took smaller family group shots, 

ate, 

laughed, 

crafted 

Crafting Christmas gnomes

and ate some more. 

 These two are always silly together. Posing in the style of a  J.C. Penney’s photo shoot circa 1980. 😂

Then I stayed up until midnight-30 to finish one last gift. 

So perfect.
