Christmas 2011


And so it was...
Christmas 2011.
No small children here anymore, so we all watch Peanut rip into the tissue paper.
Many things change through the years, but ...
alot remains the same ~ family, food, fun.
Hope your Christmas brought joy to you and yours.

It's pouring rain here today and I have nowhere I have to be except ...
the chair with a good book,
the couch to watch an old movie (& try to stay awake ;),
or the computer to catch up on blog reading.

As you can see, I have a tough decision to make.

  1. That's a very sweet day you describe, Kim! That's what I'm going to do, too. I might have to start grading school work. Might.
    What movie are you going to watch?

    I figure I deserve a lazy day too after all that pre-Christmas work.
    I think a movie will work for me.
    You sure have some cute kids! And it looks like everyone enjoyed their day.
    Happy New Year!

  9. Pom Pom,
    It will either be The Bishop's Wife or Holiday Inn. I recorded them both before Christmas, but haven't had a chance to watch til now. Might even have a double feature :).

  15. That no more small children here thing usually doesn't last too many years. =) In the meantime, the dog will do. Lovely mosaic. Thank you so much for being the lovely lady of the house and not being invisible.

  18. Julie,
    My sons were born on the same day ... two years apart so, no they are not twins. But, they do get asked that often.
