We had a just a wonderful, beautiful Christmas weekend filled with lots of sugar, laughs, family, and presents. It is so much fun to give and receive gifts! Chris and I also celebrated our 2-year anniversary with a little getaway (baby-free) in Des Moines. Ada and I both survived and did wonderfully away from each other. It was actually harder on me being away from her!
My favorite part of Christmas this year though, happened late last night, just a few minutes past midnight. Ada was in a nearby room fast asleep. Chris had just dipped off into a deep doze, and I was laying peacefully awake, my head pressed against his back so I could hear his heartbeat. It was so still and quiet in the night, that when his heart would beat, I could feel it pulse against my ear. I laid there, just enjoying this quiet moment, and thanking God that I had my living, breathing, heart-beating, warm, wonderful love of my life with me. God is so good to give me a partner and lover to walk this wonderful life with me.
On another note, I just have to share this recipe for Cranberry Margaritas by yours truly. This is by far my favorite holiday drink. Here it is:
Cranberry Margaritas (makes two 7oz drinks)
Ingredients:
Tequila (gold)
Triple Sec
100 % Cranberry Juice
1 orange
Sugar
Ice cubes
Line rim of two glasses with sugar (get wet and dip in sugar bowl), and put 3-4 ice cubes in each glass. Cut a 1/4 section out of an orange. In a cocktail mixer or bowl or something, mix 1.5 oz triple sec, 2.5 oz tequila, 14oz of cranberry juice, and the squeezed juice from the orange piece. Mix or stir well. Cut the leftover squeezed orange piece into two pieces and stick them in the glasses. Pour the drink into each glass and stir to distribute coldness.
