Well, there was some baking Christmas morning. But that was because it was a relaxing morning. I've been wanting to make scones all holiday season and was so glad to finally have time to.
The cranberry orange muffins were delish too!
I'll admit, initially, I was a little bummed to have to go to my last radiation appointment the day after Christmas.
The lovely tree in the lobby.
But I'm so grateful to be done and the best present ever was the good news from my doctor that I've had "a complete response to treatment." Yay! Thank you so much for all the positive thoughts and prayers. Other than being really tired and having a very itchy head, I'm feeling so much better too!
We celebrated in the city Friday by seeing the Beauty and the Beast musical, dinner, and a bit of shopping! Perfect day.
Then Saturday morning we watched the Irish beat Rutgers in their bowl game! Go Irish!!!
More scones and my new David's Tea teapot and cups from their Boxing Day sale! Too cute, right? And both for $15?! Love it!
We had an Irish breakfast too. One of my nurses told me about Food Ireland and so glad she did!
There hasn't been too much knitting this holiday season. The one pair of Toasties I knit for a teacher I forgot to take a picture of?! Of course, this little hat for Magpie is my favorite knit of the season!
Mrs. Claus is in the background admiring this cutie!
I do have a little something sparkly on the needles. And each row I knit, I'm grateful for my sample knitter Tracey who is knitting the real thing instead of me! I'm the slowest knitter I know lately :(

Ah! Beauty and the Beast! So good! (And an excellent way to celebrate!)
Congratulations for a positive outcome. Hope next year brings good health and happiness to you. Thanks for sharing with your blog readers!
Yay for the positive outcome! You have kept such a positive attitude and good spirit. The little babe is so sweet. Happy New Year.
Oh this is the best news evah! Congrats to you and I love the certificate they gave you. Wishing you more healing. g
Congrats on your radiation completion! That's a major milestone crossed :-)
No selfish knitting for me yet. I got sucked in to making hats for Chandler's hockey team again. On the plus side I only have about a dozen of them to make this year! After that though I'm planning to make a couple sweaters for myself :-)
So glad for the good ending to your year. Love the gratuitous doggy cuteness! Happy New Year!
Wooooooohooooooo!
I'm so glad your radiation is complete and it's such a positive outcome. Like everyone else, I'm rooting for you and wishing you a wonderful year. Happiness, health and love. All the best.
A bit late (way behind on the blog reading) but congratulations on the good news.
