Christmas was truly blessed. While I won't go in to the who got what and so on, I will say that Neil and Rissy were such gracious hosts and made everyone feel truly welcome in their home though they were exhausted from baking each of us a special batch of our favorite cookies until 5:00 a.m.! Can you believe they baked them on Christmas Eve, so they would be nice and fresh.
I was good to have Amy in our presence rather than only in our hearts. She and Rissy looked like domestic goddesses when getting Christmas dinner ready while Neil helped, he was simultaneously assisting Santa's elves with finishing the toys.
Jeff held the baby and the dog, and dozed while handling that challenging task.
Bean helped assemble some of Santa's gifts for Diz as well as played with his own toys. After dinner Neil, Amy, Jeff and Bean all played Magic, much to Brandon's delight! Charissa slept, at long last, while nursing the baby, and I played with Diz.
The love, the effort, the decorating, all of it was just so appreciated! I left their home with my heart full of love and family. THAT is a favorite memory!
