Christmas has begun… my Ottawa daughter is home for the holidays… 

took this picture of the hot tub when I returned home from running errands this afternoon… looks pretty although not so good that the ice is all the way down the wall;-(…

as I headed to the airport this beautiful sunset stopped me in my tracks…

it was still light when I arrived and I waited in the car, watching for the plane…

wasn’t very long till it landed, but the light was certainly gone on this winter solstice evening…

the plane was very, very, very, big…

home to her favourite dinner of macaroni and cheese, made by mom…

then we had some chocolate after she took the appropriate pictures for her Instagram account @peacecyndi… it was fun to watch her at work…

the leather and walnut bite we shared was delicious and then we had some of my coconut, candied violet with gold flakes Advent chocolate bar from ChocoMe…

it is lovely to look at and quite tasty…

now for a hot tub and bed…
