The Lone Carver

It's messy and time consuming and I probably would have skipped it all together if it weren't for the fact that I had four kids bubbling over with holiday enthusiasm and the end result always seemed worth it-at least in their eyes.

But then one year there were only three enthusiastic carvers ready to go...and then two...
Until this year just one lone carver was left...



...still bubbling over with holiday enthusiasm.
