Christmas Day Cafeteria

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

It has been so busy here! As usual I guess. We got up and went to church this morning. When we got home we finally got to open the presents!! Deuter was the highlight of the day! His first Christmas. He was chasing ribbon and jumping in the wrapping paper! He had a ball. He is now snoozing with all other animals. I guess that the human half of my family is hungry. The fuzzy members already had dinner. Turkey for Teaser and Deuter, and beef stew for Kasey and Lissy. Time to get the vegetable tray together so we can nibble!

Kilroy I am so sorry you are blue–I would be too with no one around. Remember you should stay here so everyone can keep you company!

KW Merry Christmas and pass the wishes on to the rest of the family! Have a great time with your daughter and well the whole family, but remind Mr. KW–no repeats of Thanksgiving–just a nice peaceful little Christmas!

You go Windi!! Bubble wrap is fun and the paper is great–Deuter will not stir you wrong on this!

Waving back Kilroy!

Just a quick pop in to say hi to everyone. Just got out of a shower and we are getting ready to go over my nephews in about an hour.

I wasn’t in the Christmas spirit until I saw Maddie see her kitchen, then it was Christmas.

AV, she LOVES it!!! 2bpurring sent Maddie some pots and pans for it and BCAM sent some food, a set with cupcakes and baking goods and a basket of veggies and fruit and we have been cooking and baking cupcakes all day. It’s been the best!!! Daddy and her have been enjoying the kitchen more since Mommy was in the real kitchen 🙂

I posted a few picture to my multiply account of Maddie at Christmas…We took a video the first 10 minutes or so. I don’t know if I can post that it’s from hubby’s phone…we will try later.

We are off. Take care everyone!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Just finished up my lovely Christmas lunch/dinner. Minute steak, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts with butter and lemon. Oh and had some deviled eggs while I was prepping my dinner. Now I am too stuffed for dessert but that will be Ferrero Roche chocolates. The remote control mouse was a hit with the kitties but it broke after only 10 minutes. So I guess I need to find a better one. There is fresh catnip for later for them. I managed to clean up my kitchen and am now going to go into a food coma for a bit. Naptime.

CM, that is so cool that Miss Maddie has a nice cookset and that 2P and BCAM got her the accessories. I had a friend who had one when I was a kid and we would play with hers. I had a tea set that was given to me when I was 6 but I do not recall whatever happened to it. Probably got thrown out with my stuffed animals. Oh well.

Kilroy, sorry you have pizza for dinner. I too second what KW said about sitting down with hubby to discuss how important receiving/giving gifts on Christmas is to you and also how nice it is to receive gifts on one’s birthday. It got too hard to purchase gifts for my parent’s and the gifts they have gotten me have been so far from what I actually wanted that thankfully they just do small things like a book or a scarf (which I will never use). I go out and purchase what I would like to have.

Sending AV a nice large Tums Martini and a virtual chef and cleanup crew.

SMM – I absolutely love brussel sprouts! I didn’t make them this Christmas because I had quite a few “little ones” (under 10), and they’re not adverterous enough to try them, however, my family loves them! (they’re really “little cabbages”, but try telling a 4 yr old that!)…. anyway, I saute mine with bacon, onion, garlic, lemon peel, thyme, butter and olive oil. Sooooooooo yummmmmmyyyyyy~!~!~
