Let's start again.
I had several paragraphs written
then it disappeared!
What in the world??
Anyway,
as I was saying....
Had a busier week with several appointments
(Ellen had 2, I had a haircut)
And I had 2 days of child care.
(I said it better than that but I'm a bit annoyed now, haha)
Last week we had a big snow.
It started to warm up as the weekend approached.
On Friday afternoon we still had a nice amount of snow in our yard.
This picture was taken Saturday morning...
Where did it all go??
It was so warm overnight that it all disappeared.
We had a beautiful Saturday and Sunday.
LOVE a warm up during the winter!
This kid just cracks me up sometimes.
He worked hard to drag his huge bear up the stairs!
I didn't think he could do it.
He proved me wrong!
Sunday we had our last Christmas dinner for this year.
Hubby's family gathered at his sister Nancy's house.
There was also another table of people
and three tables of food!
Yes, three tables of food!
Aunt Nancy gets gifts for the younger kids.
The youngest ones are my grandchildren.
I delight in watching them enjoy this special day!
Ellen is an adult...
but sorta a child too.
I don't mean that disrespectfully.
(Ellen is intellectually challenged,
a delightful forever young lady!)
♥♥♥
Her Aunt Nancy gets her a gift too
and she is pleased as punch!
Nancy knows what she likes...
PB cups, Twin Kiss gift card,
and a small resin cat to put in her bedroom!
Yesterday Noah needed something special to do.
Mommy was at work
and he doesn't have preschool for a couple of weeks.
What to do that's special?
Bake a cake, of course!
He did the measuring for most of the ingredients.
It didn't all get into the cake ☺
All ready for the oven!
Then he helped make the icing.
Next was the really fun part...
icing and decorating!
We loved your cake, Noah!
Today it's really cold.
Tomorrow it's to snow, then a mix and maybe rain too.
Sounds yucky and messy!
I'm watching the movie, Pollyanna, as I write this.
We just got Disney plus....
and I'm loving these old movies!!
Till next time,
take care!
Stay warm ☺

We've had a mostly warm January, but it's down to a nippy 23 and snow tomorrow. I'd love a piece of Noah's cake.
Tell Noah that he has to make me a cake the next time we get together. It looks so good. Your family really makes the holidays last. So good to get together. Stay safe in the snow we are supposed to get today.
Enjoyed the pictures, especially the cake making! As your family is so big, you have Christmas much longer than most and it sure looked like fun. Have a nice Saturday.
I've had issues with posts disappearing like that too. So frustrating!
Our weather is the opposite - the snow was melted and now it's coming down like crazy. :)
I love Ellens joy!
Your family sure knows how to make the holidays last, Doris. Looks like Noah is following his older siblings by baking and chocolate is my favorite too.😋
Wow that's quite a family table! Looks like so much fun! Great job on the cake Noah!
Our Christmas gatherings are finally over! I sure do enjoy seeing all of these families having great times together. It is cold here this week but no precipitation. I love seeing the snow and will just have to enjoy yours:) Great job on the cake Noah! I bet it was delicious! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
