A special card for you this Christmas. This year I decided to do electronic ones for everyone living away. It was a BIG decision for me for I love designing and making cards, going through my Christmas list, addressing the envelopes ~ even bringing them to the Post Office. I was disappointed until I started to make this … it was so much fun. I hope you like it.
And, of course, I am including a recipe as always (at bottom of page). Not sure if both of you do the baking, but whomever it is, you should really give this one a try. I tried it out and it was SOOOO easy and delicious.
I bet Everleigh is stealing the show at your house today. It must be so exciting! And, Santana isn’t this your birthday, too. Holy Crow! Talk about 2 for 1 deal. I’m betting your birthday and Christmas gifts were always combined into one. Regardless, I hope all of you have a fantastic day.
Merry Christmas
Rick, Santana and Everleigh
And Happy Birthday, Santana
I wish you a Christmas
filled with
Hugs, Laughter, Smiles and Warmth
And, may the coming year
bring you
blessings beyond measure.
