a holly jolly week full of tiny christmas trees, little anniversary parties, family, friends, gifts, and camping out in our new house

so far, our holiday season has been absolutely lovely.

we celebrated our seventh (yes, seven years!) wedding anniversary with

family, food, a museum, and a little cake and gelato.

mmmm.

christmas was wonderfully busy, hopping from one family to the next...

everyone has been so generous and creative this year.

our little old home has been cozy,

though we have been basically camping out

with all of our things still back in california.

we were quite pleased with our little christmas tree,

hanging by twinkle lights as we do not have a stand for it,

and we adored our one little babushka nesting doll ornament.

today our new washer & dryer arrived...we are finally grown-ups.

slowly, our home will come together

and soon we'll be resting on the couch with a familiar book

and watching the sunlight hit the piano keys.

can't wait!

the snow is falling...i never tire of its wonder.

i love it here.

how have the holidays been in your little world?

hoping you are warm and cozy and spending your days with loved ones.
