the last days were sweet time spent with my nieces and nephew. i had forgotten how fun the snow is, and play is something i need again and again from the children in my life. we crunched around laughing, made snowmen, slid down the back hill on cardboard over and over. ice skated in our sneakers. i taught them how to make a snow ball for the first time, and they couldn't get enough while my jeans got wet from sitting too long with their giggles. we drank hot chocolate when cheeks were red with cold. stayed in our jammies all day and snuggled on the sofa. read stories and played new christmas games. sat at the piano making up songs. this christmas i am auntie. it's a name i love.
