ho, ho, holiday.

Tonight life is good. It finally snowed which means we had a fun day playing in the wet, white stuff and now all 3 of my loves are tucked soundly into bed leaving me to sit by the Christmas tree with my computer and borrowed novel "Together Alone" by Barbara Delinsky - it's a gooder.

Last weekend our family of four escaped to Halcyon Hot Springs with good friends to enjoy 3 fulls days of hot pools, hot tea and competitive board games. While Dean & Byron introduced us to the world of bananagrams, we introduced them to deliciousness that is cranberry gingerale {it'll be on next week's list of obsessions}.

Unfortunately I came back from our relaxing vacay with a head cold and since I never get sick, I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself {and my nose}. I can't believe there's only 10 more sleeps 'til Christmas... eeek! This elf needs to get wrapping.
