Cold, Caroling, and Cousins

Woke up to -22 with a wind chill of -38. Man, it's been a COLD winter.

Made it on the elliptical two days in a row.

Sang Christmas carols and shared fellowship 

with fellow homeschooling families 

and the Benedictine Sisters of Annunciation Monastery.

Surprised the kids with a weekend visit from their Minnesota cousins. 

(Bonus: I get to hang with my sister 'til Sunday!)

Sister and I FaceTimed -- is that a verb? --

with my brother in San Diego and my cutie-pie nephews 

(who didn't really want to have anything to do with the phone tonight).

Merry Christmas!

Take 9.
