* loved the effort we all took to create special gifts for ones we love so dear
* loved the time spent in the kitchen baking up a storm with little hands close by to help
* loved the time spent merry-making with friends and family, creating some late nights, but well worth every bleary-eyed daytime minute
* loved creating new Christmas traditions with a Christmas Eve campfire with two special aunties who now live so very close by
* loved over-indulging in some good eats created by some very talented cooks and bakers I feel blessed to have in our family
* loved G took two buzzing boys out for a Boxing Day hike to burn off some of that excess Christmas energy - hoodies in December?? Where is that snow?
* loved the quiet of having the whole house to myself for an afternoon - a movie without interruptions, time to focus on nothing else but cooking up some soup, a moment to slowly enjoy said soup and a crossword puzzle
* loved every moment of these holidays
