Like many bloggers out there I have been taking a little break. I haven’t wanted too, but we haven’t seen the sun in over a week and I can’t get any pictures that aren’t either washed out from the flash or blurry from too long of an exposure time. It is a bit discouraging. It is also a bit sad, since we really don’t have any good Christmas pictures. I guess this type of “action” shot will have to suffice.

Other than my camera woes, Christmas was really wonderful. It has been so nice to spend time with an amazingly “functional” family. I feel very lucky. Christmas dinner was pretty easy and not stressful even though we had it here at our house. I enjoyed cooking and was able to tinker enough to make what turned out to be a delicious cranberry relish and also some rum & maple sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are usually on my list of foods to avoid, but I may have to change my tune. It has also been nice to spend time on the phone with some of our family members who are in other parts of the world. We wish we could all be together!
