Verkley Christmas
This past week has been a busy one preparing for the extended Verkley Christmas. Shopping to do (I spent an entire day shopping with my brother for gifts, which was so nice and a fun tradition that we have), and then I did a very large grocery shop! We had 35 people in our house yesterday! With that comes a week or more of clean up, a few projects being completed like the mudroom closet, and now a week of post party clean up.
I wouldn't change it! I loved having my house full of so much love! The 12 foot tree was trimmed and set a beautiful scene with light Christmas music in the background. While I cooked two turkeys, Hadley made two desserts (apple crisp and holiday Rice Krispie squares), and just before eating I made salted potatoes, the rest of the potluck included a third turkey, a ham and a plethora of other wonderful food!
By the way, Easton came home from school this week and told me he learned the word plethora, so I am glad to be able to use it in this post!
It was a joyful day indeed.
Everyone made quite the trek to come here but everyone seemed happy to do it!
All in all a wonderful day!
