The house is quiet today....

Darryl took the kids to Mexico this
morning for a quick visit with Grandma Margie.
The house is quiet and I am enjoying a slow
morning. I have a big pot of chicken stock
simmering on the stove and the house
smells good.
We had a great Christmas! Chloe
wrote out the Christmas message on the
chalk board. Didn't notice till much later
that threw was spelt wrong.. oh well,
we all know the story.

Christmas morning magic.

Movie night

Last night we watched "Elf" with
Will Farrell - hilarious! I forgot just
how funny that movie is. We got plenty
of laughs.
*
Decorated a gingerbread house too.
We tried putting a votive candle inside to
lite it up - not a good idea, things started
to melt off - ooops! Today I will get one of
those little fake candles to put in there.
I think it turned out cute.
