Family time

We had the best winter break. We spent each day as a family. Rob had the entire week off, which was the best gift I could have received. We simply spent time together relishing our days off ... Games of eye spy, baking, hiking, making shrinkydinks, and the girls first trip to ice skate. There were many moments where this momma took a big deep breath and said a peaceful intention that we are so blessed, because underneath this beauty I was absorbing in my family my heart was still heavy and broken for the families in Newtown. I weeped daily for their grief and I allowed my heart to take in the joys that surrounded me. It's all we can do.

Here are some photos that capture my favorite Christmas moments:
