Home

Some serious winter chill.
Home from the holiday travels.
The paperwhites bloomed while we were gone.
Happy to be hibernating with my boy on this freezing-snow falling-trapped in the house amongst the perfume of flowers-day.

The Weekly Holiday: week 52

Another week 52 has arrived for Moa and I!  Another year of sending each other a photo each week.  This final week of The Weekly Holiday contains my view of the lake from the windows of my aunt and uncle's cabin in northern Minnesota.  Moa's photo is of the twinkle lights glowing through the windows of a little decorative house.  (As I typed that I realized once again our photos have something in common.  Those are the lovely surprises that make me smile every week.)

We are brainstorming what to do next, but in the meantime, I want to thank Moa for another great year of emails and photos and friendship.  From my camera, to hers all the way in Sweden, after meeting on Flickr over 6 years ago (I think, math involving years trips me up every time) we've seen each other's lives and kept each other shooting.  I can't wait to see where we go from here!

Goodbye 2013!  And cheers to The Weekly Holiday!   

The Weekly Holiday: week 51

This week is a fave of mine, to be sure.  =)

(I'm trying to make a bouquet of baby's breath trendy.  It's appearance is all light and airy like a snow fall.  The smell however, something to get used to...)

The Weekly Holiday: week 50

Pssst.... Christmas is coming!

The Weekly Holiday: week 49

I brightened last week with some glittery holiday decorations, Moa brightened it with tulips.  Hope your week was just as cheery, if not more.  Just as long as it's not as COLD as it's been both in Sweden and here in Minnesota, you should be good.  =)

Reviewing November

A steady shower of orange and yellow leaves.  Driving along the river.  Lunch dates in the car.  Farmers' market in the greenhouse.  Sweaters and hats.  Running here and there.  We hold hands and move our feet as fast as we can.  Babe had his first ear infection and fell asleep at school.  Getting yard work done before it (as it) snowed.  So many errands, so little time.  A few more walks.  The month (each week) went so fast.  We ended it with a holiday road trip, out to where you can see the whole sky, and where grandmas and grandpas want to cuddle little boys to sleep. 

The Weekly Holiday: week 48

It's time to start getting a little festive.  
These pine needles at my mom's are beautifully silver, even without snow.
Moa's little pig candle holder is helping light up her home.

Let the mad dash to decorate begin!
