December was a whirlwind. But it was all good and fun preparing for the one day of Christmas. Since I live out of state from most of my family, it means shopping early and shipping gifts. Gifts and candies. I had a lot of fun making chocolate covered salted caramels and mailing them out. If you didn't get any this season, forgive me, there will be more later. I think I made like 600 of them over a period of 2 weeks.
I shipped something like 14 boxes to various family members and friends. Caramels even made their way to a friend in Hawaii this year.
The month was filled with fun holiday church parties, a concert at Benaroya Hall, lunches and gift exchanges at the office and food. Lots of food.
Two days before Christmas we celebrated Gisele's 15th birthday at Grazie's Italian restaurant.
On the day before Christmas Wally and I took a drive up to Snoqualmie Falls. We saw snow along the way. It was cold at the falls but still nice.
Christmas Day we slept in. When we finally got up we opened presents, ate breakfast, made many phone calls to talk with family and grand daughters. In the afternoon Melissa and her family came over for dinner and more gifts to open. It was a nice day.
Saturday I shopped, watched TV and did a lot of nothing. It was a nice relaxing day after.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. On to the New Year! 2016 awaits.
