2016 happy new year

happy new year!

i missed you.

2016......let's do this!

i truly hope this was the holiday season of dreams for you and yours...family, food, fun as well as a time of respite, relaxation, rejuvenation.

over here, we've got loads and loads of holiday festivities to catch up with. i will start at the beginning, the calm and quiet evening before the fun begins.

nicole arrived first. next, ben and sebastian....

as everyone heads home for the holidays, it also gives high school buddies the chance to be together again.

my dad, harris, arrived next. "hi, dad!"

and finally on christmas eve, margo and andrew are here! 

these sisters are so happy to be with each other once again.

donning his apron, paul gets more and more pumped having all these mouths to feed

and feed us he does, non-stop!

to end this first holiday catch up post, i want to share margo and andrew's stunning family christmas card with you. oh little, dancing helga, you're a star.

to be cont.
