Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year. (Really can't think of any bad ones though.) Once again, we've been counting our blessings.

Our day started with a late breakfast. I made a big "open" ham and cheese omelet, we cut it in circles with the biscuit cutter, and placed the circles on biscuits to make mini egg-muffins (ours are more tasty than Mickey-D's). Those who didn't want muffin sandwiches (all 2 of us: me and dad) got a "normal" ham and cheese omelet. After the Varmints were dressed, we read the Christmas story, explained it to them, and unwrapped presents. They played with the presents awhile (I got to play with all of my kids' new toys too). My parents and Grandmother are in town, so after a huge lunch we got to play "grown up" games, like Dutch Blitz and Mexican Train (rather than Candyland and Shutes & Ladders), and we all took most of the day off (except for the cooking and cleanup). Since it's Florida, we were even able to send the kids outside to play for awhile. The only downside was it was too hot, muggy, and overcast to open the windows, so we just let the air conditioning run. (I can imagine all of you Northerners that don't like cold weather are really feeling our pain.)

Do have much work to do in the next few days (to get ready for the end of the year financial stuff), but this is definitely my favorite time of the year. (Even if I do walk around whistling Feliz Navidad for weeks on end.)

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas too. I'm going to get some rest so I can enjoy the rest of the holidays.
