December 22: Breakfast in Bed

It was hard not to feel homesick today as we knew we were missing out on my family's Christmas party.  However, we had a big reason to celebrate as well:  George and I celebrate 17 years of marriage today and to help us celebrate our anniversary the kids served us breakfast in bed.  It was a wonderful way to start the day!

After taking our orders from their homemade menus, the kids went to work.  Check out the fresh flowers on the table from George :)

We laughed when Nathan came in to deliver George's egg & cheese toast sandwiches but then stopped and turned around.  He came back with the towel over his arm....such fancy service!!

I opted for toast with peanut butter and banana and pineapple/yogurt/granola.

 We spent the rest of the day settling back home, doing laundry and finishing unpacking.  Instead of a Christmas party with extended family, we spent tonight at home enjoying one of our favorite meals (Thai shrimp), watching a movie together and stopping for a dessert break:  chocolate chip bar/brownie and ice cream sundaes (Thank you, Joan, for bringing the chocolate chips!!)
