Notable highlights:
Poesy was the most fun ever this year. She really got into it!
Hope got a Swiss Army Knife and could not be more excited. She will be under strict supervision when using it, but I'm happy we finally got her one (she's been wanting one for quite a while).
Johnny and Hope tracked down the "Little Red Riding Hood" lenticular I've been eyeing. My collection is growing! (I'll share more of it soon!)
Johnny and I had a very 90s gift exchange full of sentimental music from our dating years and the perfume I wore when I was a teenager.
I know this is a lot of photos, but if you'd like to see even more you can find them on my Flickr page.
My "hello" sweatshirt is from Hello Merch!
I hope all that celebrated Christmas had a day full of love and family... and maybe a fun present or two. ;)
so sweet! merry belated Christmas to you & your family!

I'm glad you & yours had a lovely Christmas Katie!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very cozy. And my girls have knives too. They are 13-11-9 y.old, have them a few years now and are very carefull with them. My girls use the knives on holiday (camping) and in the woods, very usefull. A girl has to learn to take care of herself :)

ReplyDeletejust dying to know what hope is so excited to be receiving! i have a similar excited photo from my childhood. i love to see that excitement!
ReplyDeleteKatie, your family is just so lovely and beautiful. I love to see all your wonderful photos and hear your stories. I love your little family.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Katie,
ReplyDeleteI haven't been reading blogs for quite a while now, because my life changed drastically after I decided to spend one year abroad, away from everyone and everything I know, as an exchange student. The last time I read your blog, which was last August, I was in a really dark place of my life. Today you can find me in one of my most beautiful and meaningful periods of my life till now - and today I decided to start reading your blog again. Today, just now, I realised how grateful I am that, during that dark period of my life, you kept me company and showed me all the beauty that one can find in life, through art, love and family - you were one of the lighthouses that urged me to to go back to the place I call home: discovering an amazing amount of strength that I didn't know I have - discovering new levels of happiness, new levels of freedom to be myself and express all the creativity and music I had failed to express the past three years, lost in an unsuitable relationship that slowly faded the person I used to be. Today, Katie, even though I'm sick and I have LOADS of homework to do and lots of equations to learn, I'm happy and excited about everything that life is about to give me - and reading your blog made me even happier, cause it reminded me, again, how beautiful life can be. I don't know you or your family at all, but I love you all, and I wish you all the best, to all of you, especially your sweet angels. Merry - delayed - Christmas and a Happy New Year - and thank you, for being there for me, when the light was off. Hermine <3
Moonrise Kingdom on vinyl. tots jealous.
