It was also the weekend right after the first full moon of 2014, so we had to take that into consideration when planning. How? First, we gave preference to subjects where we could be sure …

We enjoyed a beautiful display of coloured light as the sun came up on Christmas Day. Following our Christmas Eve turkey dinner with extended family, we relaxed with the other Grandma and Grandpa GeoK on Christmas Day - playing cards, visiting, baking a couple of kinds of cookies, listening to Christmas music and sharing memories …
