sunday dinner

sometimes it's fun to have a huge family of 10 siblings and 30-something nieces and nephews.
sometimes it's fun to share soup & salad recipes and pretend it's cold outside.sometimes it's fun to have a family that can sing well and go caroling to neighbors that we don't know (for shame!)sometimes it's fun to make weird, funny faces while caroling and your husband takes pictures instead of singing. sometimes it's fun to have a ridiculously good looking man in your life.sometimes it's fun to drink hot apple cider and cocoa in front of a fire while a brother tells about his christmas experiences in germany.
sometimes it's fun to have a sister-in-law that reads lovely christmas stories.

  2. I could be tempted to be jealous when I read this post (it is lovely), but then I suddenly remember I have a big, happy, christian family and it makes me grateful instead.
    Thank you for sharing!

  13. I was just struck by something - Claire (as in Christian and Stephanie's Claire) looks a LOT like you. She has her mom's dark coloring but she shares a lot of your facial features. I've been following their story and occasionally pop over to see your etsy stuff :) I have a daughter who looks a lot like my sister too - aunts sometimes provide the best genetic makeup! Merry Christmas!
