solstice 2012
celebrating solstice is our winter tradition. in past years, we've created a solstice tree, but this year we decided to make a solstice sun. koruna really got into it. our new holiday tradition.
an old family tradition is decorating sugar cookies. my mama usually does the baking part, but runa and i tried our hand at it this year.
the whole family got in on the cookie decorating. we usually have a contest for best-lookin' cookie but this year we were just trying to corral the chaos.
sugar is a pretty new phenomenon in koruna's world so this was quite an event.
i'm enjoying mixing new traditions with old.
moving on
my hair has been an important part of my life. funny because i'm low maintenence - i won't dry my hair or fix it. never have. but i was a hair model for seven years.
whoa...
i loved that job. i got to travel the world and work with people i loved, but i didn't really get to choose how i looked for those years - so many styles, so many colors. so when i was done modeling, i was excited to gain some control over my look. i grew my hair out and went back to my natural blonde because that was DIFFERENT. it's been long for almost a decade now.
and i've grown sick of looking at it. so i got my hair cut. happy to be moving on.
soon, i reckon i'll color it.
gracias
i get excited about holidays. koruna is almost 2 1/2 years old now and i feel like we are just beginning to get to share holidays. she is participating in the rituals now. and she questions them. just the other day she began asking "why?".
lawd, there is so much to be thankful for this year. every year.
