i am so so lucky

there have been a lot of nights recently that i've wanted to blog. now there are too many things.

a pie i made

thanksgiving was wonderful. this weekend has been wonderful. our house is a little more like a home everyday. making our own thanksgiving dinner, decorating for christmas, going holiday shopping and matinees.

if i was home i would be doing all those things. i'm glad i can do them here, away from my family and have them still signal to me the holiday season. i'm glad i don't need my family to feel home, because that would be sad. i want to be able to feel at home in my own home. so mission accomplished.

i am missing my family though and i cannot wait to see them in 3 weeks! we will play games and make puzzles. i'll show off my baking skills again (just you guys wait for my gingersnaps. you though the rolo cookies were good.)  it will be so nice to be home. i can't wait. we are so so lucky.
