The Heart Of Christmas

We continue the tour to our kitchen.

In our family homes,

the kitchen is always the heart.

A simple arrangement on the table.

When family comes over I switch to my 

Christmas tablecloth.

View looking in to our living room on the one side.

More egg carton Santa's.

With a little bit of Santa cheer.

Now the other side looking again into our living room.

Decided this year to add a display

on top of the white cabinet.

I normally don't do anything here.

Added in some poinsettias and lights.

Stockings on the peg rack.

The blue cabinet holds our crockpots.

Yes we have two.

Bob uses one to cook chicken for Tundra

our spoiled Samoyed.

The top of this cabinet also is where I keep my

glass coffee jars filled with flour,

 sugar and brown sugar.

Inside all of my baking utensils and pans.

In other news,

It reach a balmy 18 degrees yesterday.

Going outside now,

the snow crunches underneath.

Lots of going on this week.

Dinner with friends tonight.

Wednesday dinner with

 my daughter Michele.

Also with Mikey and Mikalya; the grands.

It is my belated birthday dinner.

Michele was sick on my birthday...

but now Mikayla will be back from college

for Christmas break so will be nice

to see her too.

Thursday I have my final work party.

It will be bittersweet for me seeing everyone

one last Christmas party.

We all work in different locations, 

so we only get to see one another via

conference calls and our Christmas party.

Friday my mom is coming.

She will be staying with us thru New Years.

She may get kicked out of therapy

as she is still refusing to do anything at my sister's.

Am hoping she cooperates with me.

She is withdrawing which is not good.

Well off to work.

Hope everyone is enjoying 

the pre Christmas season.

Only 10 more days. 

Heart Of Christmas Blessings To All!
