Oh my, it has been a long time since I posted! However, on this late summer day in August, I am in the mood to dig through my virtual pile of pictures. It is early afternoon and I sit here all alone still wearing my pajamas. The kids are gone with their grandparents for a few days and the hubby it still at work. So today I reminisce on the Christmas Cocoa we had at my mom and dad's house this year.
This year we were blessed to make the 15-hour drive to Utah for Christmas without incident. Fortunately, we did not encounter any snow or ice on the road. However, the day after we arrived to Alpine, it started snowing like crazy. It was beautiful and splendid and oh so festive. In fact, it seemed we were nestled in Swiss chalet tucked in the Alps! Coincidently, when it came time to drive back home, all of the snow had vanished. Driving conditions were very ideal considering the time of year we were traveling.
Anyway, back to the cocoa party... Mandy and the girls arrived in fabulous tea party fashion including hats, rings, and heels. I loved it! All of the girls were acting quite proper and British if you will.
Grandpa escorted each of the princesses to the "tea."
This was just about all I got from the ornery teenagers. I know pathetic, right?
I am certain this will be one of my fondest Christmas memories. Oh and just for the record, notice the brace my mom is wearing on her left wrist. She broke her wrist in late November as she fell hanging a Christmas! Somehow she managed to pull off hosting a wonderful Christmas garland. I am truly grateful for dear old mom. Coming home for Christmas is just like being a kid again! It was wonderful spending Christmas with my parents since we did not see them for 2 years while they were serving an LDS mission in Denmark. So there you have it warm Christmas memories smack dab in the middle of summer!
