{Rainer has been sick with a cold and his facial rashes are acting up again--but he is so darn cute nonetheless!}
Even though feeling uninspired and like our tea was not "blogworthy," I found this little scene in the kitchen that I wanted to capture. While we were enjoying the backyard fire, there was soup warming on the stove and fresh bread baking in the oven. The table was set and ready. I can appreciate these small things, and for that I am grateful.The best part was just sitting leisurely at the table and enjoying the family. Isn't that what the holidays are all about anyway?

Well my 2 cents say...whatever works for Mama is whats best for all....the gorgeous smoochy cruisy feeling is worth the effort of 'not cooking' sometimes, chillin and enjoying. Happy Christmas MaryBeth, its been a pleasure 'hangin out' with you in blogland from time to time. Blessings xx
It looks like a lovely evening--there is nothing better than just hanging out with family! Have a lovely Christmas!

I have to admit I've missed you reading your posts the last few days. I'm am so glad to hear you are enjoying time with your family. I have also made a better attempt this year to not get caught up in the craziness and stress of the holidays. Thank you for giving me inspiration, a short escape and recommendations (recipes, books, etc.)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
The family all together plus soup and home made bread~ you are RICH!!!
Wishing you a JOYFUL and BLESSED Christmas!
