Our Christmas
On Christmas Eve Day, Auggie kept an eye out for Santa and the reindeer…
Despite his vigilance, there was no sighting.
Meanwhile, I made a Meyer Lemon Danish for my Christmas breakfast.
We had a wonderful snowfall on Monday night. Tuesday, I overdid the snow clearing and snow shoeing and paid for it! I spent a good part of Christmas Eve Day recuperating.
Neighbors Mel and Jesse invited me to stay at their home if I needed extra care – so thoughtful, but I stayed at my own home snugged up with Bear and Auggie watching a PBS mystery series. Neighbors Mike and Nancy checked on me and brought a beautiful Christmas bouquet AND as it had snowed another 6 inches, Mike said he would clear my drive with the backhoe. I have great neighbors!
Christmas morning, I felt 100% and enjoyed my Danish with the gift bouquet on the table.
After a lazy morning, we all headed out – me on snowshoes, although I took it VERY easy :) !!
My best attempt at a Christmas family photo was pretty much a fail all around … neither Bear nor Auggie wanted to participate and I didn’t get my smile on in time for the timed photo. Maybe next year!
But, we enjoyed the snow and being outside.
The chairs might be a little grumpy.
I reminded them that it is not as bad as last year!
Our Christmas.

Today was the 4th day of 73 degrees…all 4 days are records…I think we are supposed to get cooler by Friday…a high of 50 maybe…hah!
A late Merry Christmas wish to House Summers, and a Blessed New Year! I love the pictures and the fail photo. :-)
I also love the photos (especially the fail – it is so natural) and all that white fluffy snow. It makes it really seem like Christmas. Here it is cold and dry but sunny and windless so quite pleasant. I would love some of your Danish and a play with the boys in the snow!
It is always entertaining (and exhausting!) to try for a family photo.
The family photo is perfect–a treasure!
I see the chairs provide Auggie a nice little cave area.
Glad you are feeling better Liz. Good neighbors/friends are the best!!
I’m thankful you fully recuperated and have wonderful neighbors that care for you. Your photos are gorgeous and I love the “failed” family attempt. Wishing your a blessed New Year!! Enjoy the snow!
