There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

Thoughts on a Lazy Day

They say it's going to snow. Really? This would be our 4th predicted snowfall in all of the 2010/2011 cold season. The first three were kind of like powdered sugar. We gave our boys sleds for Christmas. They weren't terribly excited. I wonder why....

Pajamas are so much more comfortable than clothing. It's been good to have pajama days before we have to get back in uniform next week.

This was my second Christmas with such severe dietary restrictions. I didn't realize until these past couple of years how much of Christmas centers around food. I didn't even do Christmas cookies this year. All of that baking that's not for me kind of lost its appeal. (Not to mention that my hands itch when I've been touching wheat-based/egg-based cookie dough...) Let's just say I no longer have any problem with overeating at Christmas.

I'm glad I cut my hair.

Elijah purchased his second Pillow Pet last night using allowance and Christmas money. His plan all along has been to have two Pillow Pets. He slept on both last night.

Brian's parents gave us a new camera for Christmas. Our old one was 4 megapixels. This one? 14.1. Quite a difference. I have been taking blurry pictures for a couple of years now and this will be quite a relief for people trying to look at our scrapbooks.

It's near 10am. Surely the boys are hungry?
