Yule Morning

We had a beautiful winter solstice. There was a lot of fresh snow so we didn't drive to our usual spot to watch the sunrise, but instead opened all the curtains in the house and watched the sky lighten from inside our warm home.
Meanwhile, we dove into our stockings...

Such a sweet smile from my oldest


L'il Leo


And my Sophie. She's not very photogenic in the morning. lol



Then we went outside and the kids played in the snow while I shoveled. The sun came over the horizon shortly after these pictures, so you're seeing the lighting moments before.

Marian grinning


Leo. How he can look so angelic, I'l never know.


Sophie splat. She had a hard time getting up and just laid there for awhile.



And the eternally photogenic boy.



We had an absolutely beautiful day. Everyone agreed.
