We had a truly lovely holiday with lots of extended family togetherness, including visits from usually faraway Auntie Em, Uncle Kris and Cousin Max and even farther away Daddy (Granddaddy) and Philia (Grandmama). Of course the local usuals were involved as well: Uncle Robby, Kaitee, Mom (Grandma), Merrill (Pop Pop), Granny and Grandpa. My goodness - it is quite a roster, isn't it? A favorite part for me was solstice dinner when my mom did a little solstice candle ceremony - the children love lighting candles. This is the picture to the left. Our trip on the ferry and through the snow to Grandma and Pop Pop's house in Port Townsend, with delicious snacks and dinner awaiting us, was also magical.
But I love the in-between moments best of all - the chats in the kitchen over dishes, stolen moments in a coffee shop with Em and Daddy, early morning moon sightings with the little boys, knitting and gabbing with Grandmama while the boys nap and lots, lots more. Thanks everyone for coming or just being here all along, and for your lovely presences in our lives. Here are some pictures of the major moments and the little in-between ones too.
