I know it has been almost two weeks and I really was going to do better. We have been so busy with company and meetings I would almost rather scream. We had company on Sunday the 10th for dinner. I made a simple menu of goulash, corn, applesauce, celery sticks, bread, butter & jelly, ribbon salad and pumpin roll. I prepared most of the food on Fri and the casserole on Sat. All I had to do on Sun was put the casserole in the oven on time bake. When we got home from church I heated the corn, put the food into serving bowls and dinner was served. I do not stress out over having a fancy meal. I would rather do a practical and simple meal and enjoy the visiting.
Rochelle is working on her six year molars and wants to chew on everything. Maria is still working on her two year molars and is grumpy. They are both having problems with diarhea but I feel it is from the teething.
We are looking forward to a relaxing and hopefully slower time during Christmas vacation. LaVern has 1 week off and Rochelle has 2 weeks off of preschool. I would like to take a few days off from driving and try to spend some family time together, sleeping in and being lazy.
On Christmas eve we are going to have our own Christmas, exchanging gifts and just spending time as a family. We are having Christmas with my family on Christmas Day. On Dec 28th we have another Christmas gathering with the guys LaVern used to hang out with. LaVern's family is getting together on Dec.30 for brunch, an all day thing. So in short, 4 Christmas gatherings in one week= tired people and extra pounds to drag around!!
Wishing all well and if I don't write again A Merry Christmas to all!!!!
