Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

christmas 2010

We had a very mellow quiet Christmas this year, which was perfect.  Just our family.  I was a little behind, and we ended up baking cookies the night before Christmas.  No one minded.  I also made hot chocolate with agave nectar that night, which was really good.  Something new.  Christmas morn the kids enjoyed opening gifts and also giving to Mom and Dad and each other.

My favorite thing we did was record a carol in four part harmony.
Many blessings for a wonderful New Year!
