it was merry and bright

It was a wonderful Christmas weekend. We shared lots of yummy food and great times while in our jammies all day. We were very relaxed and took our time with everything we did. No rushing for a change.

I don't remember eating so much in previous years. My goodness! We ate Colombian tamales, (specially ordered, because we certainly don't know how to make them) and other goodies. We also made buñuelos. Yum!

The highlight of this year's Christmas has been all the Lego building going on around here—so fun! Grandparents, parents and kids all chipped in. My Mom and I had never built any of the sets together—so that was a first. Tomorrow the building continues. Any guesses as to when I'll have my kitchen island (where this Lego town now resides) back to normal?



I hope that those of you that celebrate Christmas had a great one too!
