Christmas Day. We got up early to open gifts and spent a lovely slow morning together. Our son played with his new things while my husband and I curled up on the sofa with blankets and cups of coffee to watch Serendipity together. After a late breakfast, we took a drive east toward the Sandy River. With a little bit of time outside together away from the Christmas crush, the deep breaths began and true relaxation set in. We have so much to be grateful for, and simply being together is at the top of any wish list I have.
