Feast of the Holy Family

Happy 6th Day of Christmas!! I wish you all many blessings on this beautiful feast of the Holy Family. We are still enjoying our Christmas holidays, since my dear husband doesn't return to work until next weds. We have had much fun over the past week:

We have watched the Sound of Music together and have listened to the soundtrack over and over and sung all the songs together...

We have watched the Nutcracker Ballet on DVD and danced and giggled...

We have eaten chocolate and cookies and turkey and ham and stuffing and apple pie...

We have played cards with Sean's new poker set and enjoyed the fun of using real poker chips... and feeling oh-so-sophisticated...

We have cleaned here and there around the house and have dreamed about what our basement will look like when it's all developed...

and... we have even ventured to the mall to go shopping with Christmas money for the kids. No surprises as to what they bought: another Playmobil toy (a princess and her royal bed chamber), and two trains.

Now, as I type, the children are laughing outside with their dad as they run around the yard with rosy cheeks and cold noses. Maybe I'll try to make some hot chocolate for them again (this time with SUGAR LOL).

I love Christmas break and don't want it to end. It's just so much fun to have my husband home and be able to enjoy being a family all together, without the stress of all of our other activities and jobs. I hope you all are having a beautiful Christmas season too.

Blessings to you, and Much Love!!
