Christmas Synopsis...

It's hard to believe that the Christmas Season is over!! This year really flew by and I, honestly was a little dazed by it all! This season seemed extraordinarily busy - fun busy....but busy. From final exams to making TONS of jam, to preparing for parties (we had the youth group party at our home and I did not take ONE picture - hence, the dazed part!), to shopping and sewing and wrapping...whew!

  • Then it was off to Bakersfield on Christmas Day - we had a lovely visit with the Sampley, Parker, and Onaindia clan (again, not ONE picture!)...ugh, I'm pretty disappointed with myself! We had a great time with my parents and Grandma Nonie and a welcomed casual, delicious dinner! :) We spent the night in Bakersfield this year since we were celebrating with the Kruzners at Angela's home in Clovis the next day.

We left after breakfast and had a great time with the Kruzner and Munoz clan (need I say it again?...not ONE picture!) Geez, what's wrong with me? Dazed, I tell you!

  • After we got home, unpacked, took a few loonnngggg naps, I reflected upon my dazed state...the best way I can describe it is, I felt like a generator always going, going, going, then someone abruptly pulls the plug! Unfortunately, someone pulled the plug too early and I started to shut down during the celebrations which resulted in NO pictures!!
Okay, I think you get the idea and I'll stop rambling...bottom line, I'm extremely disappointed in my lack of pictures but I'll do better next year!
  • The only pictures I took documented the special quilt my mom made for Dalton. This quilt has been years in the making and she was determined to have it completed for Christmas - it truly is beautiful! Job well done, Mom!!
My mom first made Dillon his quilt 6 years ago (I cannot believe how young Dillon looks...my goodness, time is fleeting!):

And here is Dalton with his amazing quilt: At last some relaxation...Dalton snuggling with his new quilt:
And Dillon in the recliner with the remote, of course!:

Despite the busy schedule it was a tremendous blessing being with family and celebrating the best gift of all, Jesus!
