it's the most wonderful time of the year!

I'm back!

And pleased to report that I have returned to the land of the living {and just in time}. The nausea has subsided for the most part, and I can feel energy starting to flow back into my veins! Blessed day!!

Now it's time to get festive. The house is decorated. The tree is trimmed. I'm in the midst of wrapping gifts and making all sorts of exciting things {including wreaths, Christmas cards, neighbor gifts, and goodies} that I'll post about when they're all finished.

Eddie the Elf arrived, and the Christmas blanket is warming the children.

There are new recipes to try and old favorites to remember.

All that's missing is the snow, which should arrive later this week.....
