Now it's real

Ken's now officially home from work, and home for the holidays. Dean had a Magic deck ready and waiting so that they could play. I stir up some dinner with these two in view, with holiday music playing, and I feel Christmas. Maybe I'm a little especially obsessed, or observant, of these moments now that I miss them so much; absence makes the ordinary feel extraordinary.

A photo a day over at Chicken Blog, too.
