Lunar Eclipse
We all got up (some of us stayed up) at 3:00 in the morning to see the eclipse!! The first eclipse on the winter solstice since the 1600's!! Momma and I commented on how it's really only during an eclipse that the moon looks like a 3D object, it just looks like a marble in the sky. Beautiful!

Day 332

"O come O come Immanuel!"
My earliest memories of Christmas mornings were not of gifts or stockings, but running down the stairs to see if Baby Jesus was born yet. My mom would wait until Christmas morning to put the wooden baby in this nativity, and when I was little and didn't the know the days of the month, this was how I knew it was Christmas morning! It was so exciting...and still is!

Day 331

Busy baking cookies!

Day 330

Home.
Home for Christmas!
I love our gingerbread house, it is simple, clean, beautiful. I don't need lights on every surface of the outside of the house. I don't need to pretend it snows and have icicles. I don't need inflatable Santas, or lit-up moveable reindeer. I just love color! And I love our simple Christmas house. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Always.
