today is christmas day. i have my two sisters. fiona and ayana. and my parents. we've made our christmas calls...including to nick who was feeding the chickens as we spoke. we are fresh from devouring an entire coffee cake from mother and presents. now off for a christmas walk...towards christmas dinner with friends. a very good day. 

this is a little christmas tree that fiona whipped up this morning while ayana and i cut and needlepointed brown paper snowflakes.
