Hello friends!

I just wanted to wish everybody a beautiful day!

Yesterday we spent the day with my sister, her husband, my nephew, my father, and stepmom. It was a fantastic day.

Christmas is my favorite day of the year.

My stepmom made me the best present ever! She handmade these beeswax candles with my dad’s beeswax and when I opened the jar, the sweet presence of childhood memories came flooding through the room. The candles smell like my dad. Of course, I will never burn them. I all ready have the cute beehive on my mantle. They are so beautiful and awesome. Thank you, Pam!

Today we are on our own. So it is another pajama day.

I will be lounging around the house (hopefully). Drinking coffee. Drinking wine. I am not going to confess as to what time either will be done.

I hope the kids enjoy their gifts. That they embrace the memories being made. That we all get to have a good day to remember.

For dinner, we will be eating the leftover chicken enchiladas my husband makes every Christmas Eve. And for dessert, I might try a new chocolate cake recipe. It depends on the order of the coffee and wine above.

I hope everybody’s day is beautiful, whether you celebrate or not. I hope you can relax. I hope you have the option of wine or coffee. And mostly I wish wonderful memories are yours to make.

Love,

Jenni
