Our holiday season began on the 23rd with an amazing, spontaneous dinner at the very festive Old Ebbitt Grill, the next day with cookie baking, and a trip to watch the ice skaters on Christmas eve day.
Gifting was just right this year, we worried at first that there was too little to fill those big expectations (we had scaled back) but we did get the main "what I want" items, and the kids played happily all day, barely wanting to go for a Christmas Day bike ride, but finally were convinced. It's been wonderful, happy and small and just us.
Now, we're off to see the families with our celebration continuing on into new year. Cannot wait to see them all. And, as for me, I'm pretty excited about a whole bunch of new adventures in 2008. You?
Happy New Year! Be well.
