Christmas Extravaganza 2012





















Hope everyone had a glorious Christmas. Despite our house being 50 plus degrees only, we did our best to have fun filled day. Our heater broke on Friday, and it isn't until today that we are getting heat! It's been so cold.
Our Christmas was laid back and relaxing, with a yummy breakfast of David's infamous buttermilk pancakes, a dinner of ham and potatoes Anna. I hadn't made that type of potato since the early nineties, so I thought I'd give a shot again. I think the first time I made it, it turned out so much prettier, but these still were very good. You can't go wrong with clarified butter and potatoes can you?!
We had so much fun Skyping in Nicole from London! She stayed on most of the day with us, and it felt as though she was right here with us. We sure missed her though!!
Now we look forward to the new year, and hope it brings us good things. I will do a looking back post soon, like I did last year.
Now I'm off to get warm with my newly installed heater!!!!
