Christmas 2013

 We enjoyed a quiet Christmas eve fondue for two.  Our sons were having Christmas with their wives families so we made the best of it.  A cozy and blessed Christmas knowing our families were all well.
 
 Breakfast was a rich cherry and cream cheese stuffed French toast; similar to a breakfast we were served this past summer at the White Gull Inn in Door county, Wisconsin. 
 
In the mid-morning we noticed beautiful swans on the river behind our home.  I managed to capture this picture using a zoom lens.  Our Christmas swan.
 
The weekend following Christmas the sons, daughter-in-laws and 13 grandchildren joined us for some food, fun and chaos.
 
We tried to maintain/establish a tradition of the children acting out the Christmas story. This year I had some costumes and, happily, we had a real live baby to play the most important role!
 
I choose to think all our grandchildren are perfect angels.
(well, they are, aren't they?)
