My favorite Christmas gift
My 20-year-old daughter Daena surprised me Christmas morning by framing a group of photos of us enjoying our favorite pastime together.
The photos, taken by dad/husband Rich, are 1) at a Willow Springs park, May 2005; 2) on a Barcelona bench, April 2005; and 3) on Aunt Rosemarie’s couch after Christmas dinner, 2004 (Mama Elf with her hat eschew):
I hung this present over my pajama-blogger desk and smile every time I look at it.

Ha! That’s a great gift Jill! Happy new year!
