Good morning Chris and Holly So happy you had such a wonderful Christmas. thank you so much for sharing your day with us. Our Christmas was quiet but it was still nice. I cooked dinner for John and I and we have tons of leftovers for this week. The ham was delicious. It was brown sugar glazed and really had a wonderful taste to it. I froze a lot of the leftovers for later. I want to make some ham and bean soup next week with some of it and also make a boiled dinner (cabbage, carrots potatoes, and ham) with some of it also. I made Oreo Dessert for dessert and it was really good. It is really rich though and you only want a small piece of it at a time. I took it down to John and Kelly's and there wasn't much of it eaten so John has lots of dessert for this week!!!

We got about four inches of snow Christmas Eve and yesterday. It snowed most of the day yesterday and created quite the winter wonderland. We filled the birdfeeders in the morning and I see this morning they are almost empty again. Those little birds sure do eat a lot of seed!! WE also had eight deer in our yard last night. John had put corn out for them. They are so pretty. We also had a rabbit at the pheasant feeder last night when we came up from John and Kelly's. George, the pheasant, also was at the feeder most of the day waiting for John to give him his daily treat. He is the funniest bird and we sure do enjoy having him around. We can't get over how tame he is.

I love the picture of you and Holly. It is so good to see pictures of the two of you. It looks you both enjoyed Christmas and Christmas Eve. The snacks for Christmas Eve look really good. John and I opened a bottle of wine last night and had wine and cheese for our evening snack last night. It was really good The wine was delicious.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs--Debbie and John
