day 17: memories
all my life i’ve had a christmas tree full of memories. ours now is filled with ornaments from our kid’s first christmases, ones they’ve made, ones we’ve picked up on vacations …. i love it that way, it is so much to reminisce with each one. i’ve only just recently found out that some people do color or theme trees, and switch them every year. i can’t imagine! isn’t half the fun of christmas pulling out all those ornaments every year?! for me it is, at least. my mom (hi mom!) is sending me a box from our tree growing up. i’m so excited to put them up next year!

day 11: something old
the cookies aren’t old, thank goodness. but star wars is pretty old. older than me, at least. john and i were just discussing the draw to it the other night. i’ve never seen it, but it just keeps on sticking around. with new merchandise appearing every day. ethan and norah both love it, and they loved these chocolate sugar cookies i made today with these cookie presses from williams-sonoma.
and an action star wars shot.
