I love the warm welcoming photo of your wicker chair and gifts all around. Christmas breakfast looks so delicious and your relaxed morning of memories brings a big smile to my face. The communication between Ganner and Sweetpea is adorable. I LOVE the way you write so much.<br /><br />The note about the fence really gave me a chuckle. I received a similar note from Bill saying I will get a back splash for my kitchen. Something I have wanted for a long time. We have great husbands!!!<br /><br />The car is packed and we are leaving in an hour to visit our oldest children who live in TN. It is 2 1/2 hours from here and we will be there overnight. We have not exchanged Christms gifts with them yet. The sun is supposed to shine by then. I am sitting here with wet hair so I better get going. It is 13 degrees this morning. The high is in the 30's. I am wearing my cute black fur lined boots. It snowed in TN last night so I will be prepared. We love visiting Brett in his 1930's home and it will be so pretty with the snow. <br /><br />Wishing you and your family a wonderful New Year full of laughter, love and blessings.<br /><br />Love,<br />Jeannejeanne, backyard neighborhttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-58037140484580791182014-01-02T19:20:11.480-05:002014-01-02T19:20:11.480-05:00It sounds like a perfect Christmas morning, and it...It sounds like a perfect Christmas morning, and it certainly will be one to add to your treasure trove of Christmas memories.<br /><br />My son and grandson get here at 2:30 Christmas afternoon. I first thought I would so miss Christmas mornings together, but I have learned to enjoy the quiet intimacy and the anticipation of their afternoon arrival.<br /><br />Our tradition for Christmas dinner is lasagna - always prepared in advance. Such a delight because all we have to do is heat it and prepare the accompanying dishes. Very easy peasy.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535622044396271722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-78558252967834107292014-01-01T04:45:49.114-05:002014-01-01T04:45:49.114-05:00My dear Rachel,
How wonderful to hear the relaxin...My dear Rachel,<br /><br />How wonderful to hear the relaxing time you spent with your friends and family on a Christmas day. Opening your presents, finding a charming surprise from Chris and having the most delicious breakfast. It sounds just perfect. Most people spend their Christmas morning in the most frantic manner of preparing for a big lunch, fretting about their relatives and stuffing the turkey. <br /><br />In one year, I was cooking for a big Christmas lunch and the gas ran out in the oven. Panic stricken with the thought that my Christmas party could end up eating ham burger, crisps or chicken curry from Indian takeaway shop, I had to hire a taxi and take the turkey in the roasting tray to Gordon's house with a battery operated hairdryer in my hand blowing the foil-covered bird to keep it warm in the taxi and eventually, I had to cooked the whole turkey in Gordon's kitchen. <br /><br />I said I wouldn't do a big Christmas dinner again with the imagined fear that my oven might run out of gas during the preparation.<br /><br />But what you had was complete opposite to most people on Christmas morning - having a leisurely breakfast/brunch, opening presents from the loved ones, saying thanks for their kind thoughts and yes, remembering all those memories and sharing irruption of laughter, smile and warm emotion in each other's hearts. <br /><br />Wishing you all the very best for 2014. Happy New Year.<br /><br />Best wishes, ASD A Super Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640893790909916004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-47011163294581813812013-12-31T11:37:42.277-05:002013-12-31T11:37:42.277-05:00Hi!
