We had a wonderful Christmas…a bittersweet Christmas. On one hand, I was thrilled to have time with my sisters. But I knew that today, Monday December 29th, was just around the corner. My younger sister left early this morning to drive back to West Virginia…and my older sister just finished packing up her family and is currently en route to France. Susanne and family will live in Albertville, France for one year, and then they’ll move to Senegal. I’m a mixture of so many emotions…and so instead of waxing on and on about sisterhood, and how much I already miss both of them…I’ll share pictures of our holiday together.
Lulu’s second Christmas was just about as magical and chaotic as I’d imagined it would be. She definitely understood the concept of presents…and wanted to open each and every one in a mad flurry of paper and ribbon. It took quite a bit of convincing to reel her in. But despite the occasional toddler tantrum, we really did have a beautiful day. Below are pictures of my sweet family. My sisters, my daughter, my niece, and nephew. We already miss you all SO MUCH!
PS. Lulu starts her Waldorf program next week which means I’ll be back to regular posting in 2015.
Love the pictures as usual, she is getting so big!
Nice to see a new blog post with so many beautiful photos, but I must say my favorite is the last, picture perfect of happiness in a gorgeous family!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Such a beautiful family!! I consider myself very lucky to live so close to my sister and her family. Definitely not something to take for granted!
She is just the cutest. Christmas with children is so magical. Merry Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful family you have. Lulu is just delightful 🙂 Best Wishes for 2015
awwwww it looks like a wonderful Christmas!!! Here’s hoping the time flies by until you’re with your sisters again <3
How lovely to have that time together. Looks like Lucy was a happy little girl. And that last picture… totally makes me smile. Glad you had such a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you for sharing all of these beautiful photos, Monet! Your family is lovely and it looks like you had a wonderful time together. I always get sad after Christmas – I love the holiday season so much that I fall into a bit of a funk when it’s over. Cherish these memories and I’m sure you’ll be reunited with your sisters before you know it! Happy holidays, dearest Monet!
Holidays spent with family are the best kind of family. They’ll keep your warm and lighted until you are able to be together again.
What a beautiful looking family! And it looks like you all had such a wonderful holiday! And such great memories to hold onto until you see them all again 🙂
Always enjoy your family photo’s Monet. And look at little Lucy – growing so fast. Wishing you and yours one happy 2015!
