food, crochet, merriment
Starting at Lyndi’s and ending over at my place for ham and turkey sandwiches (–thank you everyone!!) and general delightful Christmas Magic!!
It was beautiful, and lovely and some parts even made me speechless! That’s a first–haha. But more about that later.
Merry, merry Christmas Everyone!!
On the last day of November–alllll those weeks ago- haha– April and Lily came over and gave me an amazing surprise.
Ok, yes, they brought me a yummy cinnamon roll that Lily made and some hot chocolate, but the REAL surprise was…..
this beautiful box…
with all it’s mysterious littler boxes….
that April’s family filled up with…
all kinds of magical Christmasy things!
There were candy canes and water bottle stickers and brown sugar fudge…
yummy lip gloss…
a soft, fluffy wash cloth…
and even a ridiculous Perfect Man made of chocolate.
Ohhhhh Aprilllll. Hahaha.
One box held heavenly soft plaid socks…
another had a chocolate marshmallow Santa–that only April and I truly appreciate. Heh.
There were lovely ornaments…
chocolates and more ornaments…
and MORE chocolate!!!
I especially loved the teeny, tiny Mrs. Claus cup ornament.
You know, I always wanted to be Mrs Claus when I grew up.
I’m not even kidding.
Best of all–each of those different boxes came with a sweet little note from Hazel, Lily, Beckham, Jacob or April that I will love and cherish forever.
Thank you so much my sweethearts.
You made it like Christmas every single day.
We do this awesome thing each year.
We gather and make the most adorable gingerbread houses–started for our family my my sweet daddy–Grampa to most of these folks–when I was only 16. Now, the very smell of the cooking honeycake will send many of us back to Grampa’s bake shop out back.
It’s a beautiful, sweet thing.
Happy Thanksgiviing 2025 everyone!!
When your son is such a strong, brave, kind, talented, incredible person…
that they make him into an action figure.
I’ll take two.
I sure love you boy.
