Hanging with the Z's

We have created a very special tradition while living here in Utah. Day after Thanksgiving is our time in Park city with one of our dear friends, the Zenes's family. This year we also have a longtime friend Bev along too. It is a time of relaxation, skiing, shopping and quite often crafts like card making. With Thanksgiving past, were heading fast into the Christmas holidays. My thoughts go to decorating our home for the holidays, sharing special neighbor moments, enjoying parties, friends and some of our favorite foods.

What are some of your favorite traditions? Are you in the process of creating new traditions?

I'm also looking forward to spending some time with our sons and thier families...it is such a joy to see the wonder and delight on thier sweet faces. Church services, choir singing, carolers, and Christmas light shows...ok I'll admit I even like fruit cake, go figure!

I hope to over the next little bit share some of my favorite recipes.

Christmas Around the Corner

I can hardly believe it...it's almost Christmas! I love this time of year...the crisp air, beautiful lights, parties, decorated shop windows, getting together with old friends, gathering with family, and that special tenderness that happens in the heart of us during this season celebrating Jesus birth.

The sites and sounds of Christmas are my most cherished memories.
