On Christmas Eve the entire family got together and opened presents at my parent's new home just six houses down from where I live. It has been such a blessing to have them so near. My son had 10 days of leave from the Army - so he was able to be there too. We had our first non-traditional (for us) meal - Lasagna, Penne Alfredo, Salad and bread. Dessert was Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie, and Pecan Pie. It was a GREAT meal and may become our NEW tradition.
On Christmas Day my brother in law made his special breakfast casserole which was YUM-O! Having a breakfast meant that the rest of the day was available for enjoying the outdoors and some much needed imaging making (aka picture taking). Hubby and I traveled to Bisset Park in Radford, Virginia where we saw lots of birds and almost had them eating out of our hand - literally. That is where we saw this little Carolina Chickadee. After Bisset my Mom and oldest Sister and I went for a walk around the Virginia Tech Duck Pond. There were lots of Mallards and Canada Geese.
This was one of the best Holidays I can remember!
