Feelin blessed this year. Christmas was a little low key for us actually since we all kinda came down with a bug. But not my son. He was sneaking his DS Nintendo games in bed until the wee hours of Christmas eve. This was all I could do to get him near the tree for gift festivities. So cute. I love it actually when I can catch him in his little baby-face mode. It's slipping away these days.
It was wonderful to be back in the states this Christmas and to be sharing it with both my little man and my big one. I couldn't ask for a better gift than being with both of them. We had lots of extended family to start off the morning with quiche, berries, yogurt, and an endless warming station of coffee and chai. I never did manage to make a proper "floor party" but it was all so lovely and just right. I still have enough catered Indian food to feed an army. It's boxed neatly on the cold porch to keep racoons from finding the gourmet stash. I really wish I could invite you all over for some samosas and rice pudding! Hope your Holiday weekend was just what you needed. xoxox
