…well, it’s close.
I wrapped our first Christmas present today and put it under the tree. I love the paper, the colours, the lights, the music- we even have a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. I think I enjoy the days leading up to Christmas about as much as the day itself.

My parents arrived today and with perfect timing. We happened to meet them at the intersection in Franktown on our way home and led them to our place. My piano was strapped to the back of the truck and had made the trip from Ontario, Canada to Colorado.

Here is today’s tip: whenever scraping stucco off your ceiling- use water! We spent about half an hour scraping without soaking it first, […]

So, we bought a house today  :)
