It was a wonderful, busy Christmas week.
Everyone was home, including the future daughter in law, for the best part of a week. I do adore the noise and bustle of a full house.
Here you have some random scenes from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day:
Christmas morning brunch: Christmas punch, cranberry bread, banana bread, blondies, brownies, 2-color cake, chocolate bundt cake with mocha frosting, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, candy....
The standing rib roast was outstanding, if I do say so myself. (Note: 22 pounds of standing rib roast does not go as far as one might imagine - one meal hereabouts - but the bones make for some outstanding beef soup the next night.)
And my children gave me some splendid gifts, including a new, very comfy, office chair. But this little gift touched my heart the most.
I wish you all as much love and happiness in 2014.

Sounds like a fabulous time. What a lovely little ornament. What I want to know is how do your girls stay so slim eating cake for breakfast? g
Nothing beats a house full at Christmas time, Marjie!
