Kathleen Lake is the most magical
place on earth!
To have a clear night with an almost full moon
makes it even more amazing!!

A mauve light illuminated the afternoon sky
and we all ran outdoors,
weathering the cold,
to soak it in!!

Thomas & Adelaide shared
a belly full of laughter together!
Dear Thomas has become
a special part of our family &
we were thrilled that he & his sweetheart
were able to join us tonight to celebrate
Friendship, Full moons &
Christmas!!

and Sarah and Adelaide play
"Ring around the rosy"
with Ella!

"Husha husha we all fall down!!!" It's amazing how many times they can play this game & still love it!!

Nothing like a friend with a
guitar to warm a cold night :)
The kids danced & danced & danced &
the "big" kids hovered close & sang along!


Here are my two best friends that are always side by side...I love them so much and nothing makes me happier than to see them laughting together!!

Ice candles to cast light in the cozy kitchen shelter!

The kitchen shelter at Kathleen Lake under the full moon



Across the lake sits
the King's Thrown
with a handfull of stars above


And finally,
the road leading
back to the highway
and eventually back to our cabin...
Nights like tonight are incredible
and serve to remind me just how thankful I am
that this is my home, and these are my friends
:)
Cheers to all of us having
an equally
wonderful Christmas
no matter where we are...
XOXO

Oh, what beautiful photos Heather!
It looks so perfect but must be so cold. I guess you must think it's worth freezing to live in such a spectacular part of the world. You must have all had a great night with music and good company. The girls are sure having fun :)
Best wishes to you all for a wonderful Christmas.

Hey there Betty! Thanks :) & for the record...it IS worth freezing for ;) Believe it or not, I was thinking about you just the other day !! I was thinking about how it is Christmas time & you will be celebrating it in the middle of SUMMER...and that that is NORMAL for you!! And, how you must think it is strange to have Christmas in the middle of winter...

One day, I really hope I see you're corner of the planet ...From all I have heard & from all images I have seen...it is just as increadible as mine :)
