"When happiness shows up, always give it a comfortable seat."

Christmas was. . .

calm and quiet

except for the sound of

our new deep cleaner cleaning our area rug and couch cushions (from projectile baby vomit)

and my new stand mixer kneading bread dough

and our new baby cooing and "talking" and laughing

yes

we got everything

we needed

and wanted

and begged for

for Christmas
