Happy Christmas!

Christmas Day - our Family.....we had a wonderful day! So fun to watch the girls open gifts and to spend time with the family. We had 9 (plus Teague) for dinner at our house. Love, Love, Love having people over for dinner. There is something about cooking and being with people with good food, wine, and laughter that makes my day. Must be why I got two cookbooks for Christmas and a pasta maker attachment for my Kitchen-aid. Ross wasn't too sure if that was a good gift or not. I had just made a comment how much I love cooking then opened the gift from him......think it was a good gift honey!

We are in a temperature inversion so there is a frost on everything, the light is very even and soft and it is VERY cold. I spent some time out shooting in our garden yesterday....sounds odd but here is some of the photos......I hope you had an awesome holiday!!!

Good thing that I didn't have time to cut all of the dried flowers out of the garden........I wanted the sunflowers to drop their seeds but the rest just didn't get done. Happy about that now for the great photos!!!!

One more thing.......I am totally embarrassed to admit that with all of the hub bub of the holidays and the travel and the sickness - yep Liv got pink eye before we went to Portland for a long weekend and Vi had a cold. Thank goodness none of us got any of the icky germs! Back to why I am embarrassed....I have not sent out the fabric from the give away at Thanksgiving!!! Now the girls have picked the numbers but I have not sent out the 16 winners!!! So....this week while we are all home - no daycare - I will email the winners and send out the packages. I am so sorry and again totally embarrassed!!!

Happy New Year!!!! Wishing you the best for the new year.......
