Ho! Ho! Ho! ?????

I know I have been quiet for most of the month and for that I apologize. This month has been a doozy for us in not necessarily a good way so this wonky tree was a perfect depiction of how we all have felt... We lost a dear friend at the beginning of the December, a friend who spent several days out of month with us and had been around my whole life and it was a blow to us all, including the kids. We will miss him dearly but will also always honor the friendship and companionship we had with him forever....
I had to get that off my chest....
Our Christmas was a really nice one. Our family get-together was delayed because of flu's and surgeries etc... so it was just my immediate family and it was quite charming. A friend came over on Wednesday and we crafted some candles and sachets for her to give as gifts, I really enjoyed that!
For Christmas eve we ate a wonderful dinner and played games with the kids and listened to carols...it doesn't get any better than that!
This morning we opened presents and made our traditional eggs benedict brunch...Yummy! Here are the pics of the eggs....

Well, I just wanted to stop in and say hope it was happy! Here is a picture of Marissa's new jammies and gnome socks (she likes gnomes) It might turn into our christmas card next year!

Hug the one's you love! I will be back soon! Hugs...karen....
