Christmas this year was simply beautiful. We woke up early and started the morning off with tea, coffee, and British mince pies, a family tradition we have enjoyed for years. We made our home in the living room for a few hours of joyful present opening, laughing, and eating Christmas goodies, sharing the story behind each gift. 2015 has been a very eventful year. Having a peaceful Christmas like this one was an amazing blessing. I love my family. We're a closely knit, quirky, silly, unique, conversation-loving bunch, I must say. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Much love, Vivi
The beach during Winter brings Waves crashing in full force against the shore line, Brave tourists bundled up, young families pushing strollers up the pier, Avid runners taking the cold as an invitation to beat their best time, And two friends, Laughing, talking, snapping away happily as their hair runs wild and their hands freeze Exploring under dark bridges, climbing over rocks, squealing in delight over the perfect light And Winter looks upon them and Smiles You're welcome, He says with kind eyes, For the wind and the waves and the grey, bright, joyous day
