Christmas Wishes

Happy Sunday!

Everything is done ~ I have just completed my wrapping and I am going to 

curl up with my fur baby and watch a movie

it has been a hectic week at work so overtime was in the cards

3 out of 5 days so that makes for a time crunch at home

thankfully I was organized so other than not getting enough sleep

we coasted through it without too many problems

last Sunday we decorated the tree

can someone love and hate something both at the same time?

I love picking it out and bringing it in ~ the smell is heaven

on the flip side putting the lights on it

because I am type A and need 10 million or so

it took me a couple of hours ~ not my favourite job

then unwrapping each ornament and smiling at the memory

and finding the perfect spot on the tree

I am so traditional ~ no themes here

Christmas is a celebration of family and memories of days gone by

and making new memories ~ right

Cathy aka the best neighbour ever made this for us this year

she is so talented and I love it!

my wrap station and chalkboard

love this little room of mine

we had Secret Santa at work last week

and these are a couple of my gifts ~ are they not the cutest!

this is outside right now ~ 3 storms in 7 days

we dug out from 27 cm last Sunday only to receive 27 more on Wednesday

last night started with freezing rain ~ turned to snow and then more freezing rain

this was the car Wednesday night but I loved how our outdoor lights looked under the snow

yesterday we stopped at the in-laws as we do a cookie swap every year

and I had to get some shots of the icicles on their house ~ so pretty

I remember as a kid breaking them off and eating them like popsicles

did anyone else do that?

home we came and I put together a few cookie and sweet trays

some to keep ~ some to give

I have chicken stock simmering on the stove to make chicken fricot for

Christmas eve supper

Lists are made for last minute prep

after church on Christmas eve we will host Trev's family

for drinks and some munchies

I am also hosting Christmas dinner this year for my side

so turkey dinner for 6 and possibly 9

then that night we will go up the road to our inlaws and have 

seafood casserole and open gifts

Boxing day is a lazy day and we have our big dinner with Trev's family

so we will be surrounded by those that we love

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas

thank you for your friendship
