Since most of the last two weeks, it looked something like this outside our door, we frequently were inside doing... well, all kinds of stuff. I tended towards food preparation, Lucy to a three-dimensional craft. Jasper was in a world of his own - Rudolph in his red jammies, a conductor in his overalls and, after Christmas, a cap, a mouse king with his sword or baby "Jejus" in the manger - Lucy and I taking turns being Mary. BTW, we are not Christian exactly, but threw Jesus stories in the holiday reading mix. When he wasn't at work or in transit, Rob ran interference on all the above activities, photographed them, did laundry, provided comic relief and shoveled lots and lots and lots of snow. Now the snow is melting and the world outside our windows not quite so sparkling and beautiful... And very rainy. But I am grateful for the beauty of the snow which helped to catapult the holidays into magical realms even for a grinch like me.
