It's hard to believe that the Christmas festivities have come to an end!! I truly enjoyed the holiday season and tried my best to soak up every bit of it. I love going home to
Williamsburg, where pineapple wreaths, magnolia garland, and colonial decor translate into a beautiful background for the quality time spent with family and friends. One of the benefits of living in
Kingsmill is having Busch Gardens in our backyard. After Christmas Eve service at the Chapel we meandered over to the park's first annual Christmas
Towne, where each country was decorated with a different theme. As we strolled through the Christmas market in Germany, I reminisced on spending Christmas in Heidelberg, opting for hot chocolate rather than
vin chaud.
Christmas day was magical, as always. My traditional breakfast strata was accompanied by a Moravian sugar cake, compliments of Jarrett. This perfect combination fueled us for a morning of openings presents, each carefully chosen and wrapped to provide
delightment. Christmas evening unfolded with the arrival of the
Conleys. After round two of opening gifts, we enjoyed a savory meal in a dining room that could easily be featured in a spread of Southern Living. Laughter, playing with the children, and spending quality time with my family was a wonderful gift which I consciously do not take for granted. The Lord has truly blessed my life. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
