WINNER!


The winner of our little contest is….drumroll….ANITA! The number was 677! I figured that people would wait until last night and then weigh in with the lowest number listed and the highest but alas…I guess none of you are the strategist that I am LOL.

Congratulations Anita! I will write you an email after Christmas and get your physical address so I can mail your prize:).

I am at my mom’s today helping her cook. Our family celebration with my parents and siblings is this evening and then tomorrow we will be with Jim’s family.

Our family is of German/Austrian descent and it has been tradition for decades to make krautnettle for christmas (stuffed cabbage balls both tomato and sour kraut). This is always fun fun fun for sisters in love who end up eating frozen lasagna. (We have a more American traditional christmas dinner when we celebrate with my mom’s side of the family which we did last weekend). Anyhow, my brothers have let me know that the krautnettle tradition will continue forever so hopefully all our kids will acclamate:).

Off to stuff those darn balls:)….

Wishing you and yours a very Merry CHRISTmas!

Remember….He is our reason! How wonderful that Christmas falls on Sunday this year so that we can celebrate His birth in His house.
