Snippets of Christmas 2015

Yes, I am one of those people who is just now putting

together a blog post about Christmas!

Let's blame it on the fact that December was a crazy, busy month and

at the beginning of January, I got hit with a tummy bug followed by a sore throat, cough and head cold

delaying my blogging, organizing, cleaning, etc.

On to some snippets from Christmas

We actually had a picture perfect Christmas as we woke up to

4 inches of snow on Christmas Eve!

Miss M was in heaven.  Every year, the main thing on her list is . . . 

a white Christmas!  She got it this year! :)

We went to Christmas mass as usual on Christmas Eve and

came home to our entire neighborhood lit up with the

lovely soft glow of luminaries. 

It's so pretty and kind of magical, especially with the fresh snow!

I made a feast of our favorite Mexican Dip and ----- well, that's

all -- Mexican Dip is a meal in itself!

We put some cookies and milk out for Santa and

hit the sack.  

Harry loved his Minion pjs!

On Christmas Day, we ventured over to my

son and his wife's home for a really  yummy breakfast meal 

at dinner time and fun with the littles!  

There is something special about having

little kids around at Christmas!

Harry also loved his own karaoke machine!

Miss M had a great Christmas and received some items from her

list including gift cards, Uggs, Bath and Body Works lotions and

a surprise gift - a pineapple shaped ukulele! 

 She loved it all!

She did a fabulous job of stuffing all the stockings at our house 

except for her own - I did that one, of course! 

It was really a wonderful Christmas and made even better by the fact that 

Mr. Tennis has been recovering nicely from his Crohn's-related surgery -

at least partially mainly due to my excellent care!

We are hopeful for a healthy 2016!
