It's Here!!

Jacob has been counting down the days since we started his advent quilt. For him, it can't come fast enough. For us "older people" Christmas can't slow down enough... I love everything about it, the music, lights, smells, gatherings, treats at the doorstep, good friends and opportunities to serve. It wouldn't feel like Christmas without snow and luckily we got a large shipment right before Christmas!

Christmas Morning
Santa's Signature


Oh.. wait... one last lonely forgotten present? Jacob holds his breath... crosses fingers... he's asked for this x of a gift for a long time, but I hate gaming systems... Santa was a softy... I blame him.
Yes.. Victorious!! It's a Christmas miracle
Shock & Awe
We had a relaxing Christmas morning and didn't get up until 8am. Whoo Hoo! Cinnamon French toast and Cocoa were breakfast. Lounging in PJ's for several hrs. was our activity!

Just Dance 2 I took video too- it makes me giggle- Jacob's got some moves.
We had Grandma Christensen and Aunt Pam over for the day. We had a traditional dinner with all the trimmings and ate Grandma's amazing homemade pumpkin pies.. and aunt Pam's incredible fudge...YUM! We played games, and went to the movies and played games. What a relaxing day!!

  3. I am so behind- and finally catching-up on the things I don't know. When you write about your life it reminds me of an heirloom cookbook- so rich, warm and inviting. Thanks for sharing
