Yes, I'm hugging the tree . . . so!?!Finding this tree in China was like a great big bear hug from the Lover of my Soul . . . so just retuning the sentement in my own strange way . . . after you spend Christmas in a non-western country, THEN you can laugh!! OK, you can laugh now 'cuz we sure have this season! Thank goodness we know Dad has a great sense of humor!
Nothing more fun at Christmas time than sprinkly cookies!
"I look just like Mary!"
Miss Kathy came from Florida to visit us for three weeks, it was like having christmas everyday for the first two weeks! Each day she would bring a few things to share with us . . . and if you know me, it couldn't get any better than that! Cards and notes from friends and family, Christmas letters and pictures, gifts of the "sweets" persuasion . . . Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hot Tomales and Candy Canes galore!!! Thank you all so much for your thoughtfulness in sending things with her to brighten our holiday! We were a family of three-year-olds for nearly two weeks getting two or three new things each day . . . I'm not sure if it was on purpose of just jet lag, but Kathy sure knows how to make the most of a Christmas visit!!
Rachel's first reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas"
When things are unavailable to you, it is amazing how exciting even cupcake holders could be (to mommy AND Rachel) . . . and in grand tradition, each one had to be pulled apart and set out . . . we had quite the tea party with these yummy "cookies".
"Look, Mommy! MORE candy canes!"
One of the few Christmas displays around town . . . this was aparticular favorite since Santa was playing an instrument!
