Tea Cups in the Garden

• Dec. 24, 2007 - Fun Christmas Eve Activity

Posted in Christmas

The guys are a bit under the weather.  So they played games...

DS thinking...does the hat help?

DD helping me in the kitchen...

Then I got some laundry done and the house cleaned up...and then I was wiped out.  I am hanging on with my cold thanks to zicam.  We settled down for a movie, The Homecoming (The Waltons and John Boy.)  Then we played dd's favorite game, Take Off!  That's a geography game and I won!  Not often I can say that in this house.  I'd better enjoy it while I can.  So according to the game, I am now in Hawaii saying Mele Kelikimaka...while they struggle to get their airline flights to join me!  LOL

It's probably too late to mention now, but about this time every Christmas Eve I recall a favorite activity we do just for fun!  Norad (with the USAF) hosts a cute santa tracker around the world.  www.noradsanta.org

Of course the real celebration will come at nightfall with our advent candle and Bible story with the Happy Jesus birthday cake and party.  More on that later. 

Merry CHRISTmas!

We have a birthday cake for Jesus also. Looks like a wonderful evening. Hope that you all will be feeling better soon.

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
