Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah From Our Home to Yours

Season's Greetings!

I could not resist the opportunity to post a photo of our home after the first snowfall this morning.  Now our home truly has that festive touch.  Having 10 year old daughters who like to cook, we are blessed with the smell and goodness of sugar cookies in holiday shapes.  The tree is decorated, and the lights are hung all while making memories along the way.

My wish for you this holiday season is to enjoy each moment and to savor the blessings that we have all been given.  Thank you for reading this blog.  Joy to you and your family!

Diane

    Oh how beautiful! One day I'll have a beautiful home as yours! I see you have 10 year old girls. :-) I have one as well (along with a 3yo girl and 8 yo boy) who's getting into cooking things now. Makes me so nervous!!!

    Thanks Farrah, the cooking together is a wonderful thing. We have had a mishap or two though. The worst was beaters getting caught in hair. It all turned out ok :-)
