I just went through my photos and thought I'd give you an update of our Christmas through a photo recap. First of all, the three of us did a lot of cuddling (and after Christmas most of the cuddling took place while watching Downton Abbey - or "going to Downton" as we call it in this house).
We hosted a dinner party for four and I tried my hand at baking fruit tarts with custard. Not too shabby. The pears really made the dessert.
Next, we had our own "Christmas morning" together the three of us on December 23rd before heading up river to the in laws' and eventually my family's on Christmas night. I don't care what you say, Leroy understands everything. Hubby and I were getting ready to open stockings, I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth and literally Leroy (on his own) went into the living room and lay down beside his stocking. He totally gets it. Totally.
Around that same time, the 23rd or so, we had a big ice storm that resulted in the neighbour's tree falling down into our yard. We were nervous to leave the house to visit family because we weren't sure if the power would stay on. Turned out our house was fine, but many in the area lost power for days.
Then we spent a few days at my parents' house with the siblings. Sister, hubby, and I played a friendly game of Life. (I won... as per usual... not competitive or anything.) And why is it in that game you end up with soooo many children!? And whyyyy do they force you to buy a more expensive house when you're Game of Life middle aged?!
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a happy, healthy, and exciting (in a good way) new year! We have dubbed 2014 "the year of the resident" but as one of my classmates pointed out, "the year of the paycheque" is just so much nicer! ;)
