Week 22-Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful relaxing Christmas this year. Christmas Eve Steve and I ate hors d'oeuvres and watched a Christmas movie. Although it was an incredibly strange movie and felt a lot like a waste of an hour and a half of my life. But I guess we will have the memory of spending our Christmas Eve watching a horror film where the elves were evil and looked like Santa and Santa was, well, the devil and he was trying to escape from his ice prison so he could boil naughty children alive. I'm not going to tell you the ending because my hope is that you will be curious enough to go watch it and then we won't be the only ones. It's called Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Do it. It's totally worth it!

Christmas day we spent with our family away from family. They have adopted us poor folk with no real family in town. We got stockings full of goodies and ate an incredible lunch of prime rib and other delicious things. Then we headed out onto the lake with our snowmachines (snowmobiles for you southern folk) and enjoyed the gorgeous blanket of fresh snow. The sunset on the lake was the perfect end to our playtime and then we headed back inside for hot drinks and more delicious treats. All day I kept thinking about how blessed I am that my child (or children) will grow up with these wonderful experiences and surrounded by these wonderful people. I'm still smiling.

I tried to get some pictures of the day but my camera battery died and I had to switch to our little point and shoot. I'll post anything noteworthy tomorrow.

My hope is that Christmas brought as much warmth and joy to you as it did to me. Merry Christmas and goodnight!
