AAANNNNNDDDD We're BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, it's us - and we're back online and blogging again. Woo-Hoo!!!!!!

Our Christmas was lovely, and white! Pretty fun for us to have a white Christmas.

We had a great time playing and baking in our nice, new, BIG kitchen. We even recruited a couple of new chefs, who spent almost as much time baking as they did horsing around. But HEY, they had fun, so it was great!



We tried some new recipes. These are chocolate-dipped melt-away cookies. They are really light and fragile(which made dipping them very interesting), and they do really melt in your mouth. YUM!



Santa managed to find us again this year, and brought everyone what they wanted for Christmas...

Jackie got a train-set and Mandy got make-up. Can you tell there's three years difference in their ages just by what they wanted for Christmas? I can!



We still managed to generate our share of Christmas debris, but clean-up went quicker this year.



Some traditions never change...no matter where we live. The Christmas dinner table always gets dressed in its best finery, and looks so festive. Looks great, let's eat!



Even our Christmas sunset showed its best colors. It was a great Christmas. So, to quote Santa: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
