Well, we are almost to the point of the last minute details...hopefully we will be ready to celebrate a joyous Christmas with our family tomorrow. We have been cooking and cleaning most of the day. Woody got going on the vacuuming early this morning. I got going on the cooking. We are trying several new recipes this year so it takes a bit more planning to get everything to coordinate with opening presents and being able to eat lunch at a reasonable time (Grammy can't cook till it is time for us to have our Christmas lunch...as she does for Thanksgiving!). I think that I just have a few more cooking preparations this evening and then on to other details...like wrapping a few more presents, etc. Woody made a recipe that we hadn't made in a long time--Orange Pecans--Yummy! We did take a break this afternoon and walked around the block. This is the first time that I have walked since all my congestion started...I'm still having trouble breathing...but survived the walk!
We had a special treat after lunch. Abigail invited us over to her house for ice cream and cookies...a party celebrating her juggling scarves for the first time last night. Lots of reasons for a party next door!
Hope you enjoy one of the reasons that I love our Precious Moments Nativity...the many details...sling shots in pockets, tinfoil halo tied onto a stick, a braid on the oriental king of the "Wee Three Kings," sawing a star and a pile of saw dust on the "We Saw a Star," bow tied on the chicken's egg, droopy eyed cow with a birdie on her back, patches on clothes, and on and on!
