We have skipped a year with this blog, but have decided to get it going again. 2019 was a hard year for us as we both faced major medical issues that we are living with. Now we are in Florida again for the winter and getting off to a new start with the diet and exercise, etc. Looking back we want to highlight Christmas 2019 because our wonderful family made it a Christmas to remember. It was a fun and exciting day thanks to them.
To begin the day Kelly Jo and Andrew arrived with food for breakfast. Not just food but two casseroles, cinnamon rolls, and a fruit platter. No one was hungry after that! Thank you for the great food and for making it a great morning.
Jessica is enjoying a cinnamon roll!
After breakfast we opened gifts. JoAnna came barefoot, hoping to find new socks under the tree.
There were gifts galore under the tree.
Here is Ryan with the moose hat that his grandmother knit.
Kelly Jo liked her cookie jar!
After the gifts were opened, Matt announced that there was another one in the car. They brought in a great big cooler and you can see in Ryan's hand what was in it. Matt and Jo brought beautiful lobsters, cooked them, and prepared lunch. What a feast it was.
There it is. A feast for kings. It was an absolutely wonderful day and left us all with a warm and thankful feeling for the great people that we call family. Memories were made.
After Christmas we packed up and left for points south. We enjoyed gift exchanges with Jon, Erin and Emily, and then went on to Bob's, where we stayed two nights. We had a great time there and exchanged some great gifts. We really enjoyed having a day to spend with Alex and Bridget.
So here we are at the beginning of a new year, changing our eating habits and hoping to come home in the spring in better shape than when we arrived.
