Last night we:
: : put generations of ornaments on our tree, thinking of past Christmases and all the memories that come with them
: : remembered about an hour before dinner that I never even gave Christmas dresses a thought
: : pulled out some Christmas corduroy fabric from my stash, vintage piping and the perfect little cherry buttons and made the easiest things I know of for the girls, a jumper and skirts
: : sewed in between checking on the salmon and asparagus in the oven
: : made a half dozen coconut cream cakes (an experiment for sure but they came out really good) for the neighbors and two for us
: : spent hours with the girls in the kitchen and sewing room
: : danced and laughed with the kids all night until it was time to go to mass
: : finished the last of the gift bags and “wrapped” all the gifts
: : enjoyed Matthew’s 2nd Christmas watching him have fun with all the preparations going around
: : was so very grateful to have a new source of farm raised, free range eggs for our family
: : put all the kids into their warm beds and then got to the work of putting out all the gifts
: : put up a surprise Christmas tree in the girls room while they were sleeping (something they have been wishing for since they were little)
Wishing you and your loved ones a most Blessed Christmas and may the Infant Jesus be ever born in your hearts tonight
