Merry Christmas
What a week! Mon. I went to B'ville to visit with my brother Julian and his wife before they left for Illinois. Claire was sick. Then Mon. night I went to a high school friend's house for a Christmas get together with old friends from high school. I do believe there were a few more pounds and wrinkles on all of us!!! :)
Then on Tues. we did cookie and candy making for the neighbors and the nursing home. Tues. night we made 6 pans of CHEX MIX!!
On Christmas Eve we packaged up 15 goodie packages and headed out in the rain to deliver. It was a fun day as we visited with neighbors and some older ladies we have come to love at the nursing home. Poor Scott spent the day in bed!!
On Christmas Eve night we loaded up and headed to Booneville for supper with Scott's mom and desserts with Mom and Dad. I stayed up until the wee hours finishing up stockings and gifts.
Christmas morning the children awoke bright and early to open gifts. Our big gift to the children this year was our Disney trip, but they all got Daddy and Mommy and each other gifts so there was plenty of paper ripping!!
We had Christmas brunch and then Aunt Net and Uncle Steve came down to exchange gifts.
We spent the rest of the day playing some of our new games and we had homemade soup for supper.
On Friday, Anna and I and Mom took off for Mempho (actually Nesbit) to spend the night at Bonne Terre, a beautiful bed and breakfast inn.
We shopped a bit in Horn Lake and had a scrumptous gourmet meal at the Bonne Terre. Anna had filet mignon and the rest of us had pecan crusted grouper. Yum!
We had creme broulee for dessert.
We stayed up almost all night talking and giggling. It was such a special time with Mom. This was her gift from my sister and I. Cathy kept getting lost on the property and we just howled!!!
I always look forward to your CHEX MIX, it is the best I've ever had. Sorry I missed you. I would have been here if I'd known you were coming by. Souds like your holidays were very eventful but fulfilling and blessed many times over by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I miss seeing all of you.
