This was the second consecutive year that I’ve not been home for Christmas. I wished I could have been with my family in New Mexico. But as it turned out it’s a good thing we didn’t go this year. The end of the year was rough. I got the flu twice in span of three weeks, and I was still recovering at Christmas.
We had a nice time though. It snowed, which always makes Christmas just a little nicer. And this was definitely the first year that Ellen was fully aware that Christmas was coming, and it was fun to see her so excited.
There were eleven of us, five of which were under four, so it was not the quiet and relaxing break one might hope for, but it is easy to see how, as they get older, the demands will be reduced. Ellen and Storm played together nicely most of the time, which even a year ago was not the case. It was mostly June and her cousins Siv and Freja that kept us busy.
