Christmas After Action Report

We handled Christmas a little different this year.  Since Kendra was leaving on Christmas day to spend part of her time in Co. Springs, we had our big meal on Christmas Eve.   It was nice.  Everything came out good and on time. Christmas morning we opened up our gifts.  Hands down, I'd say the best gift I received were a set of three angels that Kimberly and Kendra created for me.  Each angel  represents one of my little darlings.   They now reside in  my nest of lovely things.

 

I think Kim's favorite gift was the quilt her Grandma Steele made her.  Judging from the happy dance she did upon realizing what she had opened, I think G.S. was truly plugged into "all things Kimmy."

Paul hooked me up with some music in my kitchen.  He set up an under- the- cabinet radio/CD player and now I can dance around while I cook and clean.  I'm really enjoying that chance to add a little cardio in the time it takes me to cook up a meal.

We had to run like crazy people to get Kendra to the airport on time, but we managed.  The day was dreary, wet and rainy.  Thankfully there wasn't much traffic or people.  Her flight went off without a hitch and (presumably) she's enjoying herself there in Co.  Hopefully, she's being helpful around the place (she's staying with her aunt).

Kim and Mac created our gingerbread house this year.  It truly is masterful and here are a few shots for your perusal.
