Christmas Together...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know I did...

We started the morning off with just me and my hubby opening our presents to each other. I think this is my favorite part of the day. =) Is that a bad thing?

We then went to my sister's house for lunch and my mom, Ricardo's sister and family came over to eat! Yummy traditional food: turkey, green bean casserole, mashed tators, etc. 

Off to Douglas' family gathering now. They had traditional christmas dinner - nope scratch that , they had Italian for dinner. LOL. Hey, I guess you can have too much of a good thing.  hee hee

After the gift exchange (yeah I ended up with the Starbuck's Gold Card- so perfect for me Oh wait, I brought that.lol) we went to the Drummond household to open more gifts - YAY!!!! The best hot chocolate was served and fun to be had. 

I love spending the time with the whole family. I am so blessed to have so much love in my life.  Thank you Jesus for your love with which this day is truly about. And may we all remember that every good and perfect gift comes from above! Happy Birthday!!!! 

What? We were tired.

NEED I SAY MORE? 

Weekend Update

Here is the weekend recap:

On Saturday we were supposed to go ice skating in Cocoa at the Riverfront Park. Well, we did go there and saw how tiny the rink in the tent was and how many people there were in there so we decided not to do it. I was personally scared of falling and causing a dominoe effect. Hmmm, maybe the inside rink is best where its bigger. Even though we didn't skate we did have a good time just hanging out with everyone. A friend of ours is home for the holidays and it was great seeing him and his girlfriend. 

Sunday: Baking Day! What a crazy, busy, fun day this was. Sooo many cookies were made and too many of them stayed at my house. LOL Everyone brought what ever recipe they wanted to make along with special ingredients such as chocolate chips, nuts, etc. They also brought a basic dry ingredient to share.  There was flour and sugar everyone with plates and plates of cookies in the end. It was amazing! I had a great time and am enjoying the tasty efforts. I will try and post all the recipes of the cookies that were made because there was such a variety of them. 

Reaping the benefits of the day! LOL

All the bakers - no picture of the cookies, for some reason they were quickly taken without a photo op. Hmm? 

Mr. and Mrs. Clause - Douglas made Santa while I made the Mrs. Too cute, huh? 

What's your favorite cookie recipe? Please share!!! 

Bah Humbug!

Ok ok, I know its been at least a month since I last got on here - you may slap my wrists. =) Its not that nothing interesting has been going on worth sharing because trust me there has but boy has this time of year swept me off my feet. But instead of dragging you through the last month of activites I will just move on from here. I am now being kept busy with the usual seasonal festivities yet I have decided to be a Scrooge (minus the ghost of christmas past, present and future) and keep my house clean of tinsel, holly and jingle bells. That's right I have not decorated this year. Surprised? Me too, considering I love to do that. I guess I've become lazy in my new old age. (wink wink) So now that you are totally disappointed in me let's move forward. 

I am planning on going ice skating in the new outside rink in Cocoa (its in the same park we got married in). We had to go and see what was happening - this is on Saturday so I will let you know. On Sunday I am hosting a Baking Day! Everyone is bringing their favorite cookie recipe and we will be baking all day! Sound fun? Come join us!!! 

Well, I hope  everyone is doing well and I promise to "try" and do better these next few weeks. (fingers crossed)
