A Christmas Story, baking and eating




Christmas was wonderful, and sadly, family is gone, flying back east as I write. We had loads of fun, and have eaten so much food (all the kind that you're NOT supposed to be eating - the kind that's great) that we'll need to go into recovery mode. Tiffany, who just completed her 20 week pastry cooking class, baked up a storm: croissants, miniature quiches, toffee, and gingerbread cookies. She also knows how to enlist assistants - Chris & Mark jumped right in. Fabulous - all of it.
It's been cold, cold (minus stuff), lots of heavy wind, but sun shining with stark white & bright blue skies. We relaxed with big fires, cozy blankets, and activities of choice.
Oh, Christmas Eve we all watched A Christmas Story. Can you believe it - neither Mark nor I had ever seen it. No one could understand how we missed it. Red Ryder BB gun anyone?
Never has a week gone by so fast. Fun had by all, and for those who have seen the caves across from our house - a coyote was seen coming out of them yesterday!

  1. Ohhh I was waiting to hear that Tiff had shown her stuff! What a wonderful time! Yeah, hard to believe you missed the Christmas movies, but, it's never too late!
