A Happy Christmas Eve
Roses on the table, vintage snowflakes on the tablecloth, lots of good salty food (homemade egg rolls were the favorite!), two sets of grandparents.
Daisy wanted to get right to the part where we open the presents.
Okay! We had several themes going. First, Clara had knitted for everyone. Gorgeous silk tie for Felix: see it! Bella and I have a few days more to wait for our scarves to be complete, but they'll be worth it.
For Giles she made these incredible wool socks on something like a size 0 needle. Blue and brown stripes and a perfect fit!
And Giles had done all his shopping in Japanese stores. Muji, Uniqlo, and Kinokuniya. It helps to live in New York, right? Those were all well-received--Bella got a faux fur collar which I thought was coincidental (at least!) since I've moved my own fur collar to the front row of fashion seats.
Happy!

Well, Lisa, it's actually standing in the living room, right beside the stage that holds our dining table.
Thank you for sharing! What a beautiful, happy family. Everyone purely glows! Would love to hear more about your menu....
