there was a whole lot of happy this weekend.
we spent friday night with good friends and ate and talked and laughed for hours and hours.
saturday night we kept anna up too late at a holiday party. we walked home in the snowstorm, sat in bed and read her stories, and tucked her in way past her bedtime.
sunday i never left the house. we have about a foot of snow, and tim and anna got out there, but i stayed in and baked, and wrapped presents, and made onion soup. the girls came through the door calling out the number of days until christmas.
a good mixture of going out and celebrating, and hunkering down at home. seemed just about right.
