We had a wonderful dinner with
the Munchkin and his Mother!
We rested a lot in the morning hours.
Mr Husband was very tired after socializing,
and I felt it too.
We kept the dinner simple, using a rotisserie Chicken and pre-made
Idaho potatoes with butter mashed potatoes,
heating up both in the oven.
I used my polish pottery covered baker for the potatoes,
which worked perfectly!
The little truffles and cookies were our
Christmas gift from my sister, perfectly timed
and I was so glad to have such an easy dessert option!
It was such a wonderful time of fellowship,
enjoying Christmas Crackers, reading the jokes,
wearing the crowns, giving gifts
and being together.
Mr Husband loved the great brain books when he was a
child and it was a delight to give a copy to our Munchkin.
He also loved the Mad Libs, which Mr Husband also
was fond of as a kid.
We also gave an icon of his +father's patron Saint,
which the Munchkin really loved.
I told him also that our priest Fr. D. was so glad to hear
that we would be giving the Munchkin
this special icon at Christmas this year.
I savour these special Christmas times
and it was so wonderful that we did not miss it this year,
even though we did miss much of earlier Christmas.
Mr Husband and I talked about how we still had Christmas this year
and still had and have Christmas joy,
even in the midst of the sickness.
Christ is Born!
Glorify Him!
I'm so glad you had a good a time with the munchkin!
