Catching Up, and Happy New Year!

What have you all been up to? Busy, I am sure 🙂

The Holidays are lots of fun with a big family like ours,
we really try to focus on enjoying each other, and the lovely season.

Every year I seem to get better at just letting go, keeping things simple. This Christmas was the best, we enjoyed great fellowship with family, friends, and had lots of good food!

I made a ton of rolls! I’ll have to share the recipe, it’s awesome. I get requests for these all the time.

Our dear friends gave us a prime rib as a gift, and believe it or not… I have never cooked a prime rib! After I checked in with Pioneer Women (thru her cookbook…hehe) I cooked that pretty piece of meat. I then realized that when someone gives you a Prime Rib, they LOVE you! It was the best thing ever, and I nailed the medium rare cook that we like 🙂

My geranium is living, and looking quite healthy. This is the first time I’ve overwintered a geranium. I’m getting the itch to start plants soon, but I shall be patient and wait.

The long winter is upon us, and now it’s time to dream and plan. I actually like this time of year. I like all the seasons as I get older, I feel it’s important not to rush things, but enjoy each season and time for they all have a purpose. Winter time is full of reflection, resting, and planning for the new year.
