Our Christmas Festivities!
at G-ma C's for the annual Seafood Feast..
The hubs missed the pic as he was inside
helping his mom prepare
the yummy food.
He's really good at that!
π
It was delicious!
Later that night,
Kate and I read some of our favorite
Christmas books...
The hubs and I watched the BYU Bowl game.I so wish the bowl games were AFTER Christmas.
Who wants to lose in the last seconds
on the last football game of the year...
on Christmas Eve, of all nights!
No one does.
Hurts the heart man.
I carried on tho!
π
We opened up a gift of socks
and bath 'n body yumminess.
Watched the newly released nativity video...
Fed the reindeer...Showed off matching p.j.'s...
Bing too!
The hubs read the Night Before Christmas...
...even my Dad who was out on his
"before bedtime" stroll stopped to listen.
Left chocolate covered Oreos
out for Santa...
the girls watched a bit of Shrek
of all things...
Then they slept in the same room together!Not sure how much longer they will
be able to do this. haha
The hubs and I worked the magic
in the family room.
*****
Christmas morn!
It snowed in the night!
Magical.
Bing came up the steps first.
So cute!
π
The hubs was so excited with what
Santa left him.
He was riding on it to surprise the girls when
they came up!
Bing's Christmas goodies!
The kids gravitated to Bing's stuff first
before their own.
It's his first Christmas after all.
π
Christmas morn reactions are my fav!
at her Santa gift.
The site crashed on ordering day
cuz of the volume.
She sooo lucky to even have this!
B was equally excited for her!
Cute Kate bought mugs and flavored syrup for
everyone with her own money.
She loves giving gifts like Emmsie and I.
"It makes me happy," she told me.
Me too sista!
Giving gifts to my mom and dad
that morning was a sweet experience!
My dad loves salmon so much.
He was so excited about his very own bag!
We have my dad's winter sled when he was
a boy proudly displayed on our porch.
We went back to gma C'slater that morning for our
Christmas Brunch.
I'm telling you food is a
love language around here.
Sweet Bing!Poop'd out!
Family came to visit gma and gpa
that afternoon.
4 generation pic!
Game time...
Jackbox!
And did you know there was a Downton Clue?
π
*****
We played our Christmas present gamewith the hubs side of the family
the day after
Christmas which was kinda nice to spread out
all the fun.
Some of Kate's favorite things
from Christmas Day and the family
game...
*****
Some of my simple pleasures over the
Winter break.
Reading this!
Finishing a whole book
I haven't done in forever it seems.
Nor do I get to relax in the tub very often...I love my new bath tray,
and yes that's a chocolate candy bar! hehe
*****
My siblings and spouses got together for
dinner at Joy Luck Restaurant!
yummy yummy Chinese Food!
*****
Some of the girls fought the cold to gosee the lights on Temple Square before
they close it down.
For 4 years!
*****
The girls and I went to seeLittle Women. I enjoyed it,
but not as much as the older
1994 version. Little Women in
general is not my favorite story
line...It bugs how Jo doesn't
end up with Laurie and how Beth
dies.
*****
Good times for Katewith Bing and a play date!
*****
New Year's Eve celebrating!
Between the haul-in the girls got from their Aunt and I
from Bath 'n Body works. They are loaded up for the year.
Not kidding.
Out of all the smells...
This one happens to be one of my fav's!
Champagne Toast...how fitting for New Year's?
You gotta try this Belgian Moussefound at Costco. It was scrumptious!
Some of my girls went out!
B went to a friend's gathering for a bit.
The hubs watched the Utes lose their
bowl game while the rest of us watched a
really intriguing baby swapping episode of 2020!
Only after did I realize, "Hey 2020!"
How fitting! haha
Played Disney CandyLand
multiple times with Kate!
Watched about 5 minutes of the ring in!I'm telling you I could live without the
New Year's holiday. None of us gives
a darn... other than Kyleigh. haha
New Years Day!
Ice-cream for breakfast!
π
Dad took whomever was wanting to
see a 9:30 am showing of Star Wars.
New Year's Day gift for Kate!Roxberry treat too!
Kate's favorite place... next to
Disney... is Micheal's Crafts
and Roxberry!
π
Indian food take-out
that night with the fam!
Christmas 2019 was good to us!
Grateful for time spent with family, our traditions,
and the reason for the season.
Relishing in these last few hours of
Winter Break.
So not fun
dealing with the post holiday blues,
dreaded Christmas decor take-down
AND the thought of resuming school and work tomorrow.
π
Bless us all!
