*Waking up on Christmas morning and having biscuts and white gravy with bacon on the side. As my sister said, it was the Best. White Gravy. Ever.
*The little dog that my sister was dogsitting. so tiny! so cute! So well behaved!
*Getting into helpless giggle fits with Helena on the couch. My cousin Dan's girlfriend can give my sister a run for her money on giggle attacks, and at one point, I was lauging so hard my sides hurt. Helena, you're my favorite.
*The framed tea towel that my sister gave me that says "when life gives you lemons, make gin and tonics" Love it! and it's going to look great in my dining room
* How happy my uncle was when he tried the shortbread cookies I made. That, right there, is why I love to bake and cook. He liked them so much that he ate three of them on Christmas morning!
*Everybody liked the ornaments I made for ornament exchange
*Thinking about all the recipes I'm going to make in my new food processor.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the time with my family, above anything else. I had a great time hanging out with them, and talking, and laughing, and generally having fun. It was really hard to leave- I had to bail early on Sunday in order to outrun the snowstorm that dumped 16 inches of snow on them, so I missed the second get together with the cousins I didn't see on christmas. But I hope I'll see them soon, and for now, Skype-ing with my little cousin will have to suffice.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
