Thanks to our wonderful farm sitter, Marilyn, who has stayed here just about every Christmas for the past 6 years, we were able to visit my family in PA. She's trying to convince me Raisa wants to live on her farm, that's how much she enjoys milking her. She's just going to have to get her own Raisa.
It was great fun going out with my 2 sisters and their boyfriends the first night there. I don't know if we 3 sisters have ever gone out to dinner together like that as adults. Weird, huh? We need to do that more often.
The rest of the visit was spent opening presents, sitting around talking and laughing with my parents, sisters, nieces, their significant others, my uncle and grandfather.
James made me a one-of-a-kind gift that shows just how well he knows me. We love to play Scrabble and Words With Friends (much like Scrabble). We always have a game going. Instead of making me a traditional barn quilt he made me a barn Scrabble board. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.
It's hung on the barn closest to the house so I can look at it any time I want.
Adam and Melissa were with her family over Christmas but we opened presents with them before and afterwards. They found the perfect gift for me; an awesome butchering set.
They also gave us a really cool hammock to hang on our boat deck. Now I'm looking forward to spring so we can spend time lounging in it.
As always, I can't wait to see what the next year brings. I have a really good feeling about 2015.
