ALL IS CALM - ALL IS BRIGHT

For my last post of 2011, I'll share some pinks of Christmas morning.

Here's some of us playing a game.

Cousins posing for Nana



Fun presents.
My sis made this for me. (How true it is).





The packages are all opened, cousins have returned to Colorado, yummy treats are gone, house is getting kind of cleaned up.  But the warmth of the family festivities have lingered on.

ALL IS CALM,  ALL IS BRIGHT


Our deck seems so peaceful, just white lights in the still of the night.

We are spending New Years Eve quietly.  We are attending church and then our granddaughters are spending the night.  We will ring in the New Year with sparking grape juice.
Last year we had to have our toast at 11:00,  one of the girls just couldn't stay awake until midnight.

2012 is upon us and we are looking forward to making many more family memories.

  3. Thankyou for commenting on my blog...Days 7 and 8. How very kind of you. If you were here I would invite you to dinner and I'd make these yummy goodies for dessert. I so appreciate your thoughtfulness in coming. You have a lovely blog and I'm so glad I came. I'm signing up to follow you! I love Dorothy and the whole story. Your photos are delightful.

  4. PS My husband has bone cancer. This is his second time around with it. First in his lungs and now in his bones. Apparently it is a very rare form. But we pretty much eat a plant based diet now which seems to have made a difference in it not spreading. So I actually don't make and eat many desserts because of it. But since I'm doing the 12 days I have too. And its been so muuch fun. I love blogging!
