Merry & Bright Winter Nights

Mark and I are finally back from the holiday rush and bustle. We've returned to everyday working life-- with the daily little joys and tidbits of fun. But the holidays were filled with laughter, good kitchen smells, hugs, pretty paper, and of course pretty ribbons. It was great to spend time with both our Georgia and Virginia families; spending time with everyone reminds you of how much you are loved and cared for in life. And that reminder is good regardless of the season or time of year.

Here are a few photos of our holiday adventures with snowy roads, giggly nephews, cookie baking, good music, and lots of presents.

I love this: Jack hopped up on the couch and said "What's up Mark-Mark?"
