Christmas Eve

 

We had our family Christmas party on Saturday. My sister brought two bags of silly holiday glasses and headbands which we all wore!

This is my daughter's family. It's almost impossible to get them all together for a picture so I was pretty happy to snap a picture of them! 


It was my granddaughter, Abigail's, third birthday last week as well!

She celebrated in style wearing not one but two tutus!




My daughter and son-in-law always make their house look so festive!


Verne and Abigail came to spend the night at my house on Wednesday!

I had already decorated my Christmas tree but had saved a few ornaments for them to hang.


Verne did a little rearranging...apparently, I didn't have enough hanging from the bottom of the tree.


After all of his hard work he laid back in my husband's chair to relax and watch Frosty the Snowman.


Thursday morning we had blueberry waffles for breakfast.

Then we put on our hats and mittens and went for a walk around the corner to the toy store and mailed a letter to Santa in the special "North Pole" mail box.


Merry Christmas to all

and God bless us, everyone!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
