It was quite awesome seeing my dad make dozens of crepes and my mom assemble them into the most beautiful display of yumminess. Oh wow, those crepes were delicious. Sausage + raspberry. Nutella + strawberries + orange sauce. Turkey + Pesto + Cheese. YUM!
Dad told stories about when he was a little boy at Christmas time. His stories always have the perfect amount of humor that make my stomach hurt. He talked about his favorite item, that only he got, in his stocking. As he was telling the kids what it was he pulled out from under his chair a box of that favorite item. I believe our kids squealed a little when they saw those orange sticks. Our kids LOVE orange sticks. It was a happy moment.
We spent time just being amazed by my mom's artwork. She pulled out some of her art that I had never seen before. They were incredible! What's more impressive is her humility over her work. Every single page should be framed ♥♥♥
I love when we walk into mom and dad's house, it's a place full of what they love and their amazing talent is shown in every room. The family room is one of my favorite places to be. So cozy, warm, and inviting. Sitting on the couch watching the birds out the window, laughing at dad's stories, eating mom's treats, and feeling the love that comes from being back home, it's my favorite! ♥♥♥
