I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends! I sure did. It’s been a busy week (month!) of presents, food, and family activities.
The last few days have been hectic, because I had postponed Christmas shopping until the last weekend before Christmas. And then, I got sick! Ugh. I eventually got things done, thanks to my wonderful hubby, who watched the kids so I can go out and finish up whatever needed to be done. And so, we are on the last few minutes of Christmas 2009. The presents have been opened, and oohed and aahed at. I have gorged myself on the scrumptious food, lots of it! Just look at this:
Isn’t that gorgeous? These are the Cornish hens I made for Christmas eve dinner, which is when we have the big feast in our family. I love how these roasts have turned out. They are now officially replacing turkey in our family celebrations.
Taking photos of the food gave me an excuse to use the new flash for my Nikon camera. Can I say that I just love it? I can’t believe I waited so long to get a dedicated flash. It’s already gotten so much use in the couple of days since it arrived. Christmas portraits? You bet! I think Sears’ photo studio has lost a customer because of this flash.
Right about now, I just want to put my feet up, relax and think about the blessings of the season. Christmas 2009 is over, but the joy, peace and love that comes from Jesus Christ will last forever. And that’s definitely something to celebrate.
