Silent Nights ... Mostly

This year, in particular, we have not packed out our schedule and are enjoying every evening (not counting our busy Wednesdays) a sweet, silent night at home.  The proof is in this picture from last night ... and in the fact that I had the free time and mental awareness to capture it.

Not pictured is the wet, curly-headed hooligan boy bouncing around just outside of the frame in a Santa hat. :}  Which reminds me, Noah and Anna BOTH are quite squirrelly lately.  Noisy, rambunctious, wrestling, chasing, aggravating each other, kinda annoying, yet somehow still precious in this season. :} 

So aside from all of that hooliganizing, we really are enjoying some silent nights this Christmas. :}
