11th Day of Christmas

 

Yesterday was a very good day!

Some last minute changes as the family with the young kids, one of them got sick

and we did not want to risk getting sick ourselves so we had a party of 4

(including my Husband and myself) instead of a party of 8 total.

So I switched out the table for a table of 4 and was up by 7 getting everything ready;

there's always so many last minnute details. 

I always quick do the hall bathroom a spray down with glass cleaner wipe 

and put out fresh (this time Christmas) towels and light a candle.

Made the salad, refigured out dessert as the cookies I wanted to use were esp.

for the little kids... because I have this super fun music tin to use with them...

and made the Caesar salad, got out the two things for pizza and all that...

sliced an organic lemon for the water, got out only 4 Christmas crackers...

It went well, was really fun and I managed by God's grace to wash the dishes this morning!

I had dishes from the day before and then the glasses we used (since I used paper plates

and paper napkins). 

The pizza ended up having to be reheated, we think we called the place too soon and then

got home with it too soon and then well, we reheated it and it was better!

I changed the coffee table decorations back as I had them for the little boy and 

for adults wanted what I normally have...

So that was good.

***

Joy and Sorrow, they are intermixed and there is times that you give 

of yourself to provide a special time for others and other times that you need

time just to rest again...

May God have mercy on us.
