amaryllis -- just in time!

paperwhites -- just in time!

Well, we have made it to Christmas Eve. The last couple of weeks have seen me busy trying to do too many things at the last minute, a bit of sickness, and just crazy scheduling. I'm so happy to exhale here on Christmas.

I wanted to write a favorite Christmas books post again this year, and I even took these cute pictures of Fiona with that in mind, but the unfortunate reality is that our Christmas books (with the exception of a few stragglers) have been missing since we moved. I have a dread that I almost don't dare to speak, that they were left behind or somehow lost when we moved. Hopefully, with this week the first that my husband has been off all semester, they might be found in a back corner of the garage or something. We'll have to take a rain check on that post until next year.

Tonight when we stepped out of church, snowflakes were just beginning to fall. It seemed like a Christmas miracle.

Wishing you all a relaxing, magical, peaceful, and very merry Christmas.
