Christmas giving had a theme this year. Gifts were conceived, produced and given in the spirit of the impending shift Northward. Whether this was conscious or simply just that the move has occupied our thoughts for several months now wasn't apparent, or important. The excitement surrounding the process though, was palpable, and giving was certainly as much fun as receiving.
A six-year-old interpretation of the The Northern Lights!
Looks like Turnagain Arm and the front range of the Chugach mountains! Our new home!
Plenty to read during those long winter nights ...
... and hours of fun in the piles of snow - 61 inches in Anchorage so far this winter!!!!! Check out the book
"Snow Play" by Britta Ralston - loads of outdoor winter ideas.
Fear not and expect the good and things will happen as they should. Our mantra, taken from the 4th grade play this year! Inscribed on the back: "May we be little birds singing our sweet songs and being merry wherever Gods takes us." Thanks Harriet!
Steering this theme of giving is the biggest gift we received this year, the gift we all gave ourselves, the opportunity to go on this wondrous, inspiring, awesome journey!
So excited to follow your adventures; have a safe trip up there!
