Holiday Wrap Up

Well, first I need to say, "Thank you Lord!" for all the blessings of this holiday. It was the first Christmas w/ our new daughter and our new house (it was a full year!). We were able to spend several nights around the fireplace and Christmas tree with the family singing and reading the scriptures to remember the coming of Christ. I mean, at times, it looked and felt like a Currier and Ives/Rockwell Christmas! It was really great!
The shopping wasn't too excruciating and everyone seemed to like their gifts.
And the food was scrumptious (ham and lamb on the 23rd, homemade chowder and biscuits on the 24th, turkey on the 26th and still have a yummy ham left for later in the week).
And spending some time off with the new baby was really something - she is way too cute! She has been charming and wrapping me around her little finger for days now and I gotta tell you, I am liking it! So, all in all, despite catching a chest cold and having a wicked awful cough for the last couple of days, I would have to give this Christmas a 9 on a scale of 1-10. Hope yours went well too!
