A Cousins Christmas

Finally, finally,

thank you God, 

the floors are laid (minus the moldings)

and the furniture is largely back in place.

The immediate stress has passed

into the comfort of what is now home again

as opposed to a giant, sawdust covered 

furniture graveyard.

Tonight my niece Caroline, 3.5

and nephew Charlie, 6.5

are spending the night.

We've had a fun evening with dinner,

playtime, tree decorating and cookie eating.

My husband is the KING

and decorates the home so nicely.

I love that about him,

especially because it is just not something I get into.

But I love to play the role of photographer

and capture the magic on the faces 

of the ones I love.
