Sneaking this slide.show in on the late hour of Monday eve here...
here's what our weekend looked like:
Hiking up to the mall {shudder} to finish off my Christmas shopping.
Dessert night with some gal pals at Black Honey [post-consumption of sweet goodness shot].
Farmer's Market - grabbing some apple cider and baked goods to inhale. Azriel is looking rather stoic here for some reason...
Oh the fun of wrapping gifts! Brown paper. twine. paper doilies. glitter reindeer clothes pegs. wood-grain mac-tack for tape... now my problem is waiting (I always try to force Ben to open some of his gifts early... but he refuses.)
Cookies and note scribbling in the sunshine...
Our annual Christmas church dinner... three feast tables full of good folk. Azriel liked the battery candles (maybe we're wrong to let her play with fire... if it's fake?)!
Bundled up for Bethlehem Live... an outdoor re-enactment of the Nativity put on in our city every year - loved those loud braying sheep and donkey!
I'm loving the pace of our days lately here - more time as a family.
More sleepy mornings.
More casual crafting.
More egg nog.
Savouring this season, and can you believe it's almost Christmas?!
Hope you're finding time to be still and savour,
Mel ;o)
