What a wonderful day we had yesterday... Steve came over early and we cooked breakfast for Jon, Jen, Ryan, and Julie. (Dad ate early, so he just relaxed while we ate and visited). We made beignets, our traditional sausage rolls and a delicious egg casserole (thanks to Miriam Lynch for the great recipe!) Unfortunately, we forgot the yummy fruit salad until after breakfast was totally over, so we enjoyed salad with our lunch and dinner later. It all worked out ok. :)
Then, we gathered our stockings and opened presents. It was a wonderful time, experiencing this special holiday together. We're not quite a formal family as yet, but it was fun to get a preview of how it will be next year!
As I think about the day, I cannot forget how totally blessed we are to have good health, wonderful relationships within our families, a loving Father above, a warm place to sleep and healthy food to eat. Wow... I hope we will never take these blessings for granted!
Now... ready for the new year!
