A Wonderful World

OMG…we hit the big time… Just watching CNN Headline news and it had  HOPE, MAINE –our town of 1313 souls–with 4 inches of snow yesterday LOL!  What a hoot–I’ll bet Hope has  never before made national news!   I had opened this post just a moment ago thinking it would be a nearly-no-words post, just pictures, but that was too hilarious not to share!

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house not a creature was stirring...except for the kitties, the dust bunnies and me...

 

While unwrapping, Eli decided to turn Mr. Wiggles into a gift... Mr. W was somewhat uncertain about this turn of events....

 

Joshua and Ashley had many stops...her mom's, her dad's, our house, but got to come over twice, for gifts earlier in the day, and supper later...Here Ashley is (woohoo!) happy to receive Joy of Cooking. The kids got lots of gifts for the house from the various relatives, hers and us

 

They even had time for some f un wrastling...notice the gins? (Ashley was grinning too...clearly Joshua has taught her a couple wrestling moves)

 

Me, wearing perfect turquoise earrings and a made-by-Marie-Shibori silk scarf--Thank you dear one!

Eli walks the dog... we got more snow than predicted so driving was a bit dicey going to get J&A, but this may have been the first Christmas in my life where we both had snow on the ground AND snow falling from the sky! Stunningly beautiful

Finishing with a feast! From left to right, Eli, Brad (friend of J&A), Ashley, Joshua, Paul, and behind the camera, me! After this shot, we were all too busy eating to remember the camera!

What a wonderful life, what a wonderful world.  I hope your days are as filled with love and joy!  And maybe a bit of art and sewing, too!

    Dear Sarah, Paul, Eli, Joshua and Ashley, Love all the photos and the glow of happiness over all. Your first Christmas in your new home. Dinner looks wonderful. Love to all – Joyce

    Sarah. Thank you for sharing your Christmas with us. The snow looks wonderful, but I think I would rather have our warm weather. Easier to clean up after, unless, of course, it’s floods or cyclones, etc. I hope 2012 is wonderful for you and yours. Dorothy.

    We just finished our last Christmas celebration of the year. Our children are a lot older but we had the same level of fun and loving enjoyment. I did enjoy seeing your snow: I, too, am glad to be where it is warmer and we don’t have to drive in snow and ice. Enjoy the rest of the year and Happy New Year to you and yours.

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos. Your tree is glowing! Be careful in that scary, but beautiful snow! Have a wonderful New Year.

    No snow here in Germany but just as much fun! My GD’s boy friends got a lot of household items as gifts too. Amazing how much stuff a kitchen can use!
    Nice to see you looking so happy!
