Festive Day.

Another shot from Winterfest that I

forgot to post. Dh and I had fun posing

under the festive arch out in the hall.

A popular spot to get a nice picture.

More Decorating.

More decorating has been slowly taking

place around the cottage. Little snowman

continue to pop up in various spots. Some

at the front door, some on comfy chairs, a

few on shelves and one on the piano. We

tend to leave our decorations up until mid

February, but I am feeling a bit late this

year with my decor placements. Usually

we're done by now but with my recovery

and so many activities, we're still at it. No

one will know we were a bit late on this.

No one, except all of you. Just our secret!

Are all your decorations out and ready?

Heavenly Drinks.

Our daughters love to create festive and

interesting drinks for all of us to try out

during the holidays. This one we tried

last year and loved it. Jack Frost. Yum!

Still Festive.

Yes, you can see that we haven't yet put away

our decorations from the Christmas Season.

Personally, we love to let the Season last

just a bit longer. It's not over powering,

just a few items here and there. Like our

range hood, with our little Elf and a

sweet little Christmas glass van. And

the wreath is there all year long. It will

come down soon. When we're feeling

ready to put it all away. Soon, I promise!

Not too long ....

.... before this sweet holiday motif on

the Starbucks drinks disappears! I love

the pattern, all lacy and festive. But know

any day now, it will be gone and missed.

Finally, Christmas Dinner!

As dusk began to fill our afternoon, we started

making our festive dinner. Our dear friend T,

who is a true Brit, joined us and we had a great

meal. Yorkshire puddings, roasted cornish hens,

sausages, veggies and a winter salad. Oh, and a

lovely baked whole wheat loaf with fresh butter. 

Puddings in the oven.

Dh, dd C1, grandbaby B and T. Dd C2 was taking

her pup outside for a walk before dinner.

T being served by me!

Mmmmmm .... so good!

And then it was all gone!!
