Christmas come and gone

Christmas was beautiful and simple. I do hope that you all had a lovely one too. There is no greater joy then looking into your children's eyes and seeing pure happiness in them. 

Christmas Eve was a quiet dinner at my sisters. Christmas Day we opened gifts with the kids and later hosted a brunch. What was on the menu? I made Dominican style chocolate Oatmeal drink (Chocolate  avena), sorullos (puertorican Corn fritters), greek yogurt pancakes, cinnamon waffles, oven baked bacon, omlettes and fruit grinch's. Seemed to go well because it was almost all gone.

The kids opened some more gifts. I loved seeing the kids expressions when they discovered what their gifts were, eyes so bright. To see my handmade gifts received well by them was so great. I made a hooded scarf, an Anna (Frozen) hat and an infinity scarf with matching boot cuffs.  

Post Christmas, not as good. Spent day in urgent care with my eldest. His eyes tired and body weak. So sad. Turns out the flu bug got him. He was pretty bad for a bit but is turning a corner this evening. Now just hoping that the twins don't follow. As for me, drinking a whole lot of echinacea tea.  Fingers crossed folks. 

That's it. No soapbox this holiday. Life is what it is and I'm happy with it. I'm blessed.
