The holidays are finally winding down to a close. I love Christmas and New Years, but I can't say I am not glad to see them sneak out the door. The excitement and hectic craziness of it all makes me long for normalcy.
The glow from the candles in the window, the glimmering Christmas tree and the soft shimmer of the garland on the stairs. These all made me smile the first night I had all the lights out but, in between rounds of gift wrapping, scrubbing walls and floors and running here there and everywhere!
And what a wonderful time we had! We had a little party for the kids, and you'll never guess who stopped by for a visit!
My awesome cousin Ron was visiting from Houston with my aunt from New York! We had a fabulous time. Ron was hoping to get some skiing in. That didn't quite work out, but instead, we managed to sneak in some sledding and the Two Rivers Wildlife Park.
I had barely enough time to paint some wine glasses which were to be gifts for some of my favorite people :) I'll post a tutorial if there's interest....leave a comment!
For me, the real finale is not the fireworks but the calm that follows on New Years Day. Ahhh....peace and quiet!
I will be enjoying it thoroughly, since it will after that that I plan on going full speed ahead with those New Year's Resolutions. But that's another post!
