Today was imperfect. Eric had to finalize Christmas cheesecakes so was gone for (arguably) the busiest hour plus of the morning.

Christmas Eve service at our church brought its own challenges and reminded us that we have to fight for Kiran’s space in this world in every setting. Even when we think we shouldn’t have to.

But. Eric’s girls and their SOs and our sweet grandbaby were all with us tonight. We had a great dinner and honest conversation.

Eric and I just watched Die Hard. I had never seen it (and honestly- eh). But then I put on a stocking hat and we got in the hot tub.

And it doesn’t really feel like Christmas this year. But I think we are getting some things right anyway.

Merry Christmas
