It’s been a while, friends!

I am thankful I was able to take a bit of time off from work (and clearly blogging, too) to soak up the holiday with family… but, now it is back to the grind and gearing up for a healthy and happy 2014.

Christmas 2013 in a nutshell…

Frost on Christmas morning.

Homemade gingerbread scones while opening Santa’s gifts.

P and I, our first Christmas spent together.

Christmas afternoon al fresco.

Christmas Day hike — what a day!

Like mother like daughter.

Mama watching for whales.

Life on the north coast, where the livin’ is easy.

From scratch homemade pizza for Christmas dinner… because why not?
