Merry Christmas From Our House To Yours

Merry Christmas From Our House To Yours.  The big day is finally here and I think we are all ready.  As I look around the house I love seeing Christmas’s glitter and glow.

2023 Christmas Home Tour – My Home

 

 

I am finishing up the pies this morning to take to my daughter’s house for our Christmas Eve get-together.  (This one is a coconut.  You can see my recipe for Easiest Pies Ever here. )  I am making a chocolate and pumpkin also.

This is where I am, messing up the kitchen making 4 pies.  We will need three for tonight at my daughter’s and then one tomorrow for Christmas day here.

I couldn’t resist this rolling pin when I saw it.  Losing Jim and Chuck over the last three years has been hard, so I am slowly learning to roll with the punches.  Then add in my heart surgery December lst and I have really needed to roll with the punches.  I am recovering faster than I thought.  I am walking approximately 1 1/2 miles a day and can do most normal activities.  I just have to take it slower than I use to, but God has Blessed me with great doctors and surgeons who have helped my heart pump better and hopefully grow stronger ever day.

As a family, we all go to early church Christmas Eve, then back to my daughter’s house for our Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchange.  (We draw names since there are so many of us.)  This was our Christmas in 2019 with all the family together.  (Our family has changed since 2019 – We lost Jim and Chuch, but the Lord Blessed us with two little Grandchildren – a beautiful little girl Chloe and a precious little boy Luke.) This year we will only be a gathering of 13.  This is the year for some families to spend it with their inlaws.

 

My prayer this year is for everyone to be able to enjoy Christmas with all their loved ones and remember the ones we’ve lost and were so blessed to have in our lives.  Missing Jim and Chuck with all my heart and praising God for his healing hand on my heart.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS
