This year's Christmas has been quiet - no travel, not a lot of time off... but today has been lovely. Cinnamon buns for breakfast, rain on and off all day, Christmas Story on constant rotation, new video games to explore and new recipes to attempt. As I sit here in our cozy kitchen, my first roast beef is in the oven and it smells heavenly in here. Need to get off my duff soon and make some green beans & yorkshire pudding.
I miss my family today something fierce... As strange as it feels to not be with my mom & pops or my sister, it also feels really right and good to be here with Ajax. I think this will most likely be the one, only and last Christmas we spend just the two of us. Next year we're insisting that Mom & Pops come here (and hopefully other years to follow). And the year after that we'll be parents, God willing. So we're enjoying our sweet time here together. But we miss our families. Sometimes quiet is too quiet.

We missed you, too. I was always grateful that we had you for so many Christmases. But never more than when we didn't! Thank heavens for J&D. They were great. I L Y, my sweet peanut!
