The Holidays are behind us and we are unfortunately getting back the “daily grind” both in Blue Springs and Carrollton. With that said, lets remember our holiday.
For Starters, two of the three McFerren kids went to visit Family in Texas with their Dad. Krista arrived in Carrollton Christmas Eve in time for 6:30 mass. Afterwards we had what I hope doesn’t become our traditional Christmas Eve dinner…..beef pot pies with a nice salad. We had planned our Christmas day dinner, but totally overlooked the evening meal before. Lesson Learned!
The rest of Christmas Eve was spent putting up my Tree (yes, the tree at my shack went up on “the eve”) wrapping presents and enjoying a glass of wine…or two.
The girls were over Christmas morning for Christmas with us before heading off to their aunts for Dinner. I have to say we were pretty lazy after that! Doing nothing and enjoying it is not one of Krista’s strong points! I’m much better at than she is.
Friday morning we packed up the car along with the Powell girls and headed back home to Indiana for a couple of days with family. We have be very fortunate (and thankful) to have made it home several times this year…..But we always wish it were more. By Monday evening we were back in Missouri.
New Years Eve was a celebration of the arrival of 2009 and a Friends Birthday. Mark and Nick tagged along for the evening. It was great having them along. The party was casual with good food and drink….Thanks Angela, we enjoyed it!!!!!
New Years Day, I admit to doing very little (if anything) It just felt good being at the condo and hanging out.
The Start of a New Years Celebration is a special time for us. It marks the beginning of our relationship as well as the start of another year together! Stay tuned, who knows this “new year” could be THE year!!! Time will tell.
Thanks for checking up on us!
