Holiday Recap

Well, the holidays are finally over. And while I cooked at least a month's worth of food in the week between Christmas and New Years, I don't have any pictures. Not of the food, anyway. But I have lots of pictures of the fun.

Each of our kiddos and their families were in at some point during the week. We ate (obviously), we played, we enjoyed each other's company. And spent a fair amount of time outside. 

Yep, the stars at night really are big and bright. Making it a great night for a bonfire.

Our oldest daughter and I took some of the boys to the Blue Bell Creamery where they make some of the best ice cream in the world. And yes, we got samples.

Of course, the week's big finale was our annual New Year's Eve fireworks display.

The house is quiet now. I've hung up my apron and returned to my desk where a delightful Christmas story waits to be completed. So maybe the decorations will stay up just a while longer.

Happy New Year, y'all!
