Christmas Rain

We got some rain a few days before Christmas!  The skies were so pretty this morning.

 

I had a Christmas lunch with my brother and sister.  We went to an Italian restaurant.  After, we drove to See's, and my brother bought each of us a box of candy.  My sister gave me this coffee cup, as she knows home is important to me.

 

My friend, Dana, always bakes homemade goodies at Christmastime.  She makes the best chocolate chip cookies.  This year, she wrapped it all with cellophane, a gold plate, and a gold ribbon (we ate half of them before the picture was taken).  ; )

I had a little visitor.

When she first got here, she handed me a glittery red baby poinsettia.

I made her oatmeal, and this time I put raisins and pecans in it.  She liked it so much, she ate the whole thing!

I bought her some pink boots

Later that evening, we went to a neighborhood close by to look at the Christmas lights.  This is a tradition we do every year.  We drove through Starbuck's first and got a hot chocolate.

Merry Christmas!

You turn my darkness into light.
