December recap

It may seem like all I ever do anymore are recap posts. The months are just flying by, and before I know it weeks have passed without a single post. Sometimes they are getting by me without a single picture. My poor camera is neglected—if it wasn't for the improved phone cameras it seems I would have no pictures at all! 

December, of course, was a delightful month full of friends and family. There were concerts, plays, and at home sing-a-longs. Plenty of baking was done, and plenty of eating. There was giving and receiving, a Star Wars movie, and other good stuff to be remembered.

So, for posterity, here's a recap.

There is so much to say about Christmas—about the family, extended and beyond, that we shared it with, and all the wonderful fun we had—that it will just be easier to say it with pictures. Otherwise, I'm likely to remain so tongue-tied over trying to say exactly the right thing, that I'll never get around to saying it at all.

It was a beautiful Christmas, one of my favorite times of the year.

Merry Christmas
