If you haven't already -


We Terrills seem to have celebrating the holidays down to a fine science - and the consensus seems to be that this year was the best ever! Which means, we'd better get our thinking caps on for next year - we can't let complacency kick in!!

Phoebe and Agnes, enjoying McDonald's!!

So if you haven't already checked Hannah's blog - do so now - for some inspiration!!

Holiday musings


I'm either getting old or tired or both, but I just haven't gotten around to blogging much about our really excellent holiday happenings! We are all agreeing that this may be the best year ever - and I think it's because everyone really got into the swing of things and shared their time and talents - and look what we got - a Terrillific time indeed!!

A big thank you to Hannah who suggested a Terrill Family Talent Show - what a great show it was! I can't wait for next year's - how can you top Hannah and Robbie doing "Moon River" on the guitar and melodica!!

Dawn treated us all to manicures - that always makes a holiday special!!

She wanted to thank us for all our help with Jonah - which was certainly sweet of her - but we all agreed that it was a privilege to spend those hours in their home!! And memories of Jonah did brighten our holiday celebration.

It's always fun to see a grandchild "grow into" the playhouse - and discover how much fun it is to stand in the windows and tell everyone to look at you!

We started a new tradition and went to the temple to see the lights and Visitor's Center. After we went to McDonalds for hot chocolate - and other delights. This will probably become a tradition too!

Maybe I can scare up the energy to post a few photos each night - I was feeling a bit melancholy when everyone started leaving - Phoebe on Sunday, Hannah on Wednesday, Eliza on Thursday - everything looked so blank with all the clutter gone.

But since school started for me on Wednesday, I didn't have a lot of time to mope around. Today I had to stay here all day and wait for the delivery of the dishwasher and microwave - so I tackled a few cupboards and drawers.

Now the trick will be to see if I can find anything!!
