A Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year




I'm finally back online. December was very busy and very snowy. This led to numerous power outages of course, but it was gorgeous. The winter scene was taken from our living room couch. We got tired of having blurry pictures and having to change the batteries in our camera way too often and splurged at an after Christmas sale for a little new one. Hence we have no pictures of Christmas for the blog. It's all on video (not digital video.) We did get some New Year's shots. I have been unable to post anything til now due to our phone line being down for 2 weeks as well. Wanted you all to know we did have a wonderful Christmas. For those who haven't already heard the story, I thought I'd pass along Belle's Christmas miracle. She came to me later on Christmas day and said,"Mom, you know what? Even though I picked my nose, Santa still brought me presents!" She got away with one this time. Hee, hee. On New Year's we had Erik's neice Chablis with us. We had to get a picture of our "toast." I got some sparkling cider. When I told the girls we would be having a New Year's toast, they asked if they could have cinnamon sugar on their toast. So we started a new tradition.
