9th Day of Christmas

It's the 9th day of Christmas and it still looks like it around here!  The kitchen seems to stay a perpetual mess and I have to admit, I am really glad the feasting is over!  Yesterday we had a modest feast of ham, mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas --- but since I did the potatoes in a big batch for freezing, it took 45 minutes to peel them and all hands to get the meal out. 

I don't have too many pictures of Christmas since I was too busy having fun to take pictures, but here are a couple of shots from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  I have few pictures of the big girls -- probably because they were as busy as I was!!
