Last Christmas Apart

2011 is the last Christmas Jeremy and I will spend apart from each other as an unmarried couple. We've spent the holiday with our respective families of origin while updating each other with pictures and stories from our homesteads.

Here are a few from Lindsay's Belleville, IL 

Some Christmas Eve calisthenics lead by Siena Sustar and Leah Farquhar.

Uncle Munch Farquhar restraining his child, Moosey while Grandfather, Daddio Weidmann, and my father, Eric Weidmann enjoy holiday chat.

Cousin Lissa Farquhar loving her role as Aunt Lissa to Leah and Campbell Farquhar.

Christmas morning at the Sustar's house this year was a marathon of presents and excitement. Here's one of Joe's presents, a fire station, truck, and firefighter figures he can play with when he's not volunteering with the REAL fire department down the street. Conveniently, his playset is also age appropriate for 3 year old Siena.

An exciting gift for Jeremy and me, a new scrap book for our Christmas cards! We'll proudly update this album for years to come!

My father's favorite gift, a portrait of his "babies."

The title of this post is a comment made to me by a friend who attended my Holiday Cookie Party on Dec 9th. I believe the pictures speak for themselves as to how festive this party was. Sugar cookies being made, decorated, homemade mulled wine, eggnog, fire, soup, Nat King Cole records playing... and of course, a very festive hostess.
