Today was Christmas.. and we were all together at home for Christmas for the first time in years.  Sam was in all our hearts.

Xmas started for real at 11AM.  Lots of love, lots of pajamas.. opening gifts, cooking, eating, repeat until midnight.  It was truly wonderful.

 

An hour or so in the sun was shining brightly outside.. so we wrapped up and when out to decorate a tree outside for the animals. I’ts a long family tradition.. we tie together  old bread, bagels and donuts and scatter seeds and nuts . Super fun to be outside (especially in your jammies !)

Then back to more presents, music, cooking and eating !.  Got to talk to my mMom too. 
   Around dusk we started making a group meal of dim sum.. . It was a great group effort.. steamed pockets with yummy fillings and lots of different sauces. 

It was such a nice  day.    I feel such gratitude…

nite all, nite sam
