Six years ago today I married my Prince Charming!

May you have a very happy New Year filled with love!

Warm wishes and god jul to you and your kin!

We celebrated the holidays in Seattle for the first time in four years. Our semi-annual caroling party with friends was a success, though we missed a number of people who got snowed in on the East Coast. After stuffing ourselves with good food and drink, we caroled in four part harmony along Candy Cane Lane in Ravenna. My mom made our secret family Swedish Glögg recipe (which, consisting mostly of port and whiskey, I could only sniff wistfully this year).

Today we rocked around the Christmas tree with my large extended family. The jultompten brought books on babies, breastfeeding, and birthing. (Not a secret baby in sight! ) Mr. Wonderful and I bought ourselves a fancy new camera to take photos of our little bundle of joy. Three months to figure out how to use all the bells and whistles–we can do it!

On a non-baby-book-related note: December’s book club book was Nalini Singh’s SLAVE TO SENSATION, which everyone loved. I’ve got her latest Psy-Changeling book in my hand as I relax on the couch, digesting my extra helpings of fruit cake. If you haven’t tried Ms. Singh yet, I thoroughly recommend her.

We’re looking for a good historical paranormal for our next pick. Any suggestions?

May 2010 bring you and your family good health, peace and joy!
