We had a {mostly} joyful Christmas season -- kids are still kids no matter what the day or season and we had some re-setting to do with ours, but otherwise a peaceful season, full of thanksgiving. Rapid City has had unusually warm and dry weather for this time of year and we have been very thankful for what that has meant for us ... with so many indoor options closed, the above freezing temperatures have been a real blessing.

| Getting our tree from the Black Hills National Forest. |
 |
| Winter Soltice celebration -- tamale dinner, gazing at the aligning planets and the kids get to spend the night sleeping under our tree. |
 |
| Warmer days mean we get to hang out with friends! So good for all of us. |
 |
| Special treats, always. |
 |
| A beautiful Christmas Eve -- going to church in-person, having special friends, Vanesa & Anne over for dessert and getting our new PJs. |
 |
| Even Goldie gets a red bow! |
 |
| Christmas Day activities, so many thoughtful gifts, lots of yummy food and a hike in the snow. |
 |
| Ringing in the New Year with special friends from Idaho. So thankful. |
