I don't point it out to him as he would prefer to be the biggest but he is not. Her feet are a couple sizes bigger too. <br /><br />Your home photos are so pretty, I'm glad you shared them, Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-22848733697187960352016-12-11T23:34:34.590-05:002016-12-11T23:34:34.590-05:00Your celebration sounds wonderful, peaceful and me...Your celebration sounds wonderful, peaceful and memorable. Having a small gathering gives you more one on one time. We have 2 Christmas celebrations this year. December has been extra full, but wonderful!

It was a blessing to be able to have her here and she was the easiest house guest we have ever had. That said not much was accomplished other than basic cleaning and meals here. I did make a double batch of granola to refill the jar so that I have my favorite breakfast ready for the next few weeks. And I baked a lot of bread! After my friend was cleared of her gluten problems she just wanted to eat bread. I think she will be buying a new bread machine this week. (smile) <br /><br />The grandchildren are very good about my decorations here, too. I have a lovely nativity on my coffee table that has never even gotten so much as a scratch. We tell them to just look and they do. <br /><br />We have to get a box shipped to Florida this week as soon as the last of those gifts arrive from Land's End. They sent me a card with a 50% off code and the short sleeved and summer weight clothing on clearance was perfect for gifts for those family members. <br /><br />Tonight Hubby will pick up our free spiral ham from his employer and the main part of Christmas dinner will be taken care of. Tomorrow I will make final menus and cookie and candy plans. I am going to work to get some cookies in the freezer this week. I make a lot of cookies and candies as those are our neighbor gifts every year.<br /><br />Have a good week!<br /><br />Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-87812869709122343862016-12-11T13:52:32.113-05:002016-12-11T13:52:32.113-05:00It really doesn't matter what day we celebrate...It really doesn't matter what day we celebrate a holiday on, as long as we are blessed with family. We will have Christmas Eve with my daughter and family and the rest arrive the 26th, dependent on weather.
