Long Gone

Oh friends.
Our computer is still broken and my life is just crazy enough that I just don't care right now.
Too much on my plate but I have got to write about what is happening in life
or else I'm going to be sad I missed too much.
Christmas was awesome!
So fun.
So memorable.
We had a beautiful white Christmas.
Aftyn was so excited this year.
I loved how, with her first few gifts she squealed "This is just what I wished for!".
Oh what fun!
Bronwyn loved everything, but that's just Bronwyn.
She's got enthusiasm for everything!
Even Mirren surprised me by being genuinely interested in each gift she opened.
Most kids get frustrated at this age and just want to play with the wrapping paper.
But not Mirren. Of course not Mirren.
Because she's different and she's happiest that way!

New Years was quiet and fun.
We went to bed early and Mirren woke us up at midnight.
She's kind like that, especially when teething like mad.
(3 teeth and one on the verge of popping through.)

The holidays were awesome.
 Now to enjoy our way through the rest of winter!
We're doing our best.
We're hoping to find a fun winter carnival of some sort around here.
And take any opportunity we can to go sledding!
I've decided to have a different take on winter.
I usually hate it with a vengeance. Gray days with no sun.
This winter, my first winter gluten free, feels a lot better than normal.
I feel happier. I feel calmer. Maybe it's all my working out lately.
Either way, here's to a happier winter for us all!
