Christmastime is here

My 38th birthday!
Yes I am only 2 years away from turning 40 now. Gray hairs are slowly creeping into my head. Sigh! It was nice to have my niece with me to celebrate the weekend. She and I delivered Christmas cards to the neighbors, made ornaments, looked at Christmas lights, went Christmas shopping, read Christmas stories. One of my favorite books is On Christmas Eve by Margaret Wise Brown. We also read The Tomten by Astrid Lindgren. Sunday we celebrated Christmas early and enjoyed a ham dinner.
