yesterday we celebrated Christmas… I arrived here the evening before, so we put Christmas off by a day, lol…

when we got up in the morning – not until 7 am;-)… we opened the very full stockings and then all the gifts under the tree were distributed… our family tradition is that the youngest passes out the presents and they are opened one-by-one around the circle so that we can see what everyone got…

the same process is followed for stockings (which come from Santa) and that happens first… it was a wonderful time and the gifts were all carefully chosen…

then we prepped for our Christmas breakfast… crepes, made the night before, in the crepe pan that my beloved gave the kids a number of years ago… to fill them there were scrambled eggs, cooked onions and peppers, turkey bacon, grated cheese, strawberries with whipped cream, apples and cinnamon…

delicious meal after all the fun of sharing gifts…

shamrock…

I have always celebrated every event that came along: Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Canada Day and St. Patrick’s Day…

when the girls were little, I’d make cookies for them to take to school… made a lot of cookies over the years…

for the last while I haven’t felt quite as enthusiastic about these special days…

maybe I’ve made my last cookie, lol…

today I had a green smoothie, even though I usually make eggs on the weekends…

for lunch I had zucchini-basil soup with the cutest bunny-shaped cheese pretzel from La Belle Baguette…

I also had fun taking some photos of the shamrocks growing in the Japanese Maple pot…

for supper, made green eggs and ham;-)…

came out very tasty;-)…

no fancy decorations, no cookies… just green food all day long…

hope your St. Patrick’s Day was just what you hoped for;-)…
