Christmas 2007

Paul happy with his present!
As you can see we had a white Christmas.

It has snowed a lot this year.  It's so beautiful.  


Maria and Mike
Miriam and Michael
Miriam and Eric got me for their "secret Santa"  They spoiled me!   I got a very nice soft throw, an ice cream Sunday kit, a beautiful biscotti cookie jar and an old fashioned frame!  It was very nice and I'm enjoying my presents already.
James and his Christmas cookie. 

 I had planned on making cookie plates to give out to the mail lady, neighbors etc.  But like most years I have a good plans that don't really come to pass.  Well I made 2 batches of cookie dough and one batch of punkin bars, but by the time the bars were made the cookies would have been stale.  So the children still had fun making cookies and it's too bad I'm not organized enough to get my plans in action. :(
Our traditional antipasta platter.  It's always a beautiful creation!
Cody, Jon, Gareth (on the table) and Eric 

Playing games together
Making ravioli dinner.
Martha cooking like always.   The girls got together a couple of weeks before to make the raviolis.  They were all cheese this year.   VERY GOOD!
