No it is not St. Nick laying a finger aside his nose, it is Andy shushing Sherie, again! The story of our lives and now it is a kodak moment. The meal calander is nearing a finish and while we experienced lots of great meals and were so overwhelmed with all your generosity of taking the time to prepare some pretty outstanding meals, the time has come that I re-enter the kitchen and cook again! I have stepped up and cooked 3 great meals this week already! (pork tenderloin/spagetti bolanese/chicken taco soup(thank you Kristi P) I had to call Helen the first night for moral support and a few cooking questions, but I feel it is all coming back now. Thank you all again for all the meals, sweets, and treats. Andy, on the other hand, is troubled by the weight he gained from it all and blames you all for it. I tried to be the psychiatric nurse that I am and point out that he didn't have to have 2nds and eat all the treats, but he is still pointing the finger. Seems he is always doing something with that finger! I guess when you have a bad shoulder you use the body parts that work in excess!
So, The kids are watching A Chritmas Story in preparation for this evening and tomorrow. They have been pretty hyped. They are having a sleepover in Rex's Green Monster bed tonight, I wonder if they will actually sleep. My parents and Auntie Bonnie are spending the night tonight so they can be here bright and early for the excitement! We are going Mexican tonight for dinner, hence the Chicken taco soup. We are heading to our adopted family, The Everding's, for christmas dinner & celebrations tomorrow (beef/shrimp/salmon), we have Friday off to play, to my parents house on Saturday for Turkey dinner & celebrations, and then to Andy's parents on Sunday for Ham & celebrations. So, it seems after my 3 days of cooking I will be getting a small reprieve.
I am done with everything and now able to relax and enjoy the holiday. The champagne is chilling, the pomegranite liquor has been purchased, and the pomegranite seeds await! My favorite part of the holiday is late tonight when the kids are in bed, the presents are all under the tree and all the lights in the house are out, except the christmas tree ones. Andy & I usually sit there and enjoy a cocktail, a kiss, and enjoy the moment.
Here's what it looked like last year.
