A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR CHRISTMAS
Posted By drsao on December 27, 2010
Are you like me? I love Christmas and enjoy EVERYTHING about the preparation, decoration, the music, the lights, the church service, the wrapping paper, the anticipation…..EVERYTHING EXCEPT ACCEPTING THAT IT IS OVER UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!
We got an EXTRA SPECIAL TREAT THIS YEAR – a white Christmas! Thank you to my grandangels who went outside in their bare feet to do the snow dance. We got results!!!!
THE SNOW DANCE
The Christmas Cake
There were lots of good things being created in the kitchen but one of my favorites was the Christmas cake made by grandangels Leanna and Sarah! It sure was cute – however I really don’t remember eating it!!!!
And you must admit that Sarah and my deviled egg looks pretty good – especially when it is smothered with black olives – Sarah REQUESTED 4 cans of sliced black olives for Christmas snacks!!! I believe she might have eaten most of all of those four cans too. Bacon and black olives are PROBABLY her favorite foods; well she likes raspberries too!

But back to Christmas…..a family tradition is for someone to read TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS and this year it was my DD Christi’s turn…..it is the signal that everyone must go to bed and wait for Santa to arrive!!!!
Not a creature was stirring.....
Christmas Morning FINALLY Arrived
There were lots of smiles and squeals on Christmas morning (and that was just me!!!!) I thought they would NEVER wake up! I had to wait until 7 am!!!!
You will NOT believe this but SIL Greg and Grandangel Sarah got BACON SODA for Christmas ….. they both LOVE BACON! (And just for the record I did NOT even taste it!)
Look who got BACON SODA
Grandangel Cooper was happy with his BOY TOYS! And Kitty Oreo was happy with all of the boxes and the AIR HOCKEY TABLE!!!

I hope my Mother was smiling down from Heaven as she watched over all of us – this is our first Christmas without her – and we miss her so much. Thanks to SIL Kerry for making an ornament of Mother’s picture that we put on our tree.

Wonderful pictures of Love, as usual. Wasn’t the snow fantastic? I was doing the happy dance just watching it come down and everyone else moaned and groaned as they had to fly to California on Monday – they did and all was fine. Our power was off for nine hours, but we stayed warm with the fireplace and the generator allowed us to warm up leftovers, and we played Tripoley all afternoon. Christmas was very good at our house. Happiest of birthdays to Max. Can’t wait to see all your quilt finishes. Judy C
