Day 4: Southern Cheer and a Good Cry

Day 4 (12/24/10)

It's already Christmas Eve! Actually, in T minus 29 minutes it will be Christmas!!! Fantastic!

Well, Day 4. An early morning waking up with my puppy on my bed was a great start to the day. I then began the search for a fun new fruity desert recipe to take to Northern Kentucky for the annual Christmas Eve party. Then came braving the grocery store over egg replacer, which they didn't have, and a debate about whether or not clementine rinds should be blended into the cake, which they were.

Church was fantastic, but short. A sermon on a gift, a promise, and a question. Then the invention of my new frosting for my new cake, a road trip up, a night of fun, and a road trip back.
And the best part of this Christmas Eve - snow.


Day 4

- Simple traditions like sitting at the table every year

- Curious discussions of the market of breast milk

-Remembering the people in our lives that have changed us forever

Also on Day 4: Tears over the ones who have passed, Papa (grandpa) being released from the hospital, new slippers, holding ridiculous poses for family pictures, too much wine for too many women, and snow falling in time for Christmas morning.
