I just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Without getting too sappy, I have to say I am the most wonderfully blessed woman on the planet! I have the greatest family, boyfriend and friends a girl could ask for!
My Christmas was wonderful this year. I went to Mom and Dad's yesterday and hung out with Mom, Dad, Oma, Kati and Nate. We went to Christmas Eve Mass followed by the traditional Smithson family hors d'oeuvres. It's not Christmas without the fondue! Kati, Dad and I did a little singing around the piano and we each opened one present.
This morning, Shadow started the day by capturing and killing a Christmas rat. He was so dang proud, but it was completely gross. We're working on introducing him and Tucker, so we decided that now is as good as any time. They did surprisingly well... there were a few little growling matches, but they're definitely getting the hang of it! We opened the rest of our gifts this morning and had a fantastic french toast breakfast!
This evening I headed up to have Christmas dinner with the Blankenheim clan... and 7 beef ribs... we had FANTASTIC prime rib! It was a really nice time with tons of good food!
As I said, I'm so incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful life. I'm so happy I had the chance to spend time with everyone that I did, and to those of you who texted or emailed, it was great to hear from you too! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
