So, with the holidays here, and the night before Christmas...I...Well... I haven't done a darn thing. I'm way behind the ball on purchasing Christmas gifts. However, this year, like the ones before, my kids and family isn't too focused on the actual 'gifting' part of the holidays.

We actually did the following in preparation for the holiday, INSTEAD, of buying presents.

- Made our own Christmas play (to be done for friends and family)
- Created our own dialogue on what Christmas means to us (to be shared on Christmas)
- And kept the present number to 3 per person
- Collected all the Christmas movies we want to watch on Christmas Eve
- Cooked some great assortment of Christmas Cookies

So, what have you done this holiday to celebrate?

Do tell, I need ideas for next year :-D

S'cuse Me For Party Rockin'

WoW!  The kids hit 3 parties today. 
First was for a relative of Jared at Hog Wild.  I didn't go so I don't have any pictures.

Next was the Bost Dance.  They usually have a Christmas party.  I don't know if this was it because it was different then the Christmas Parties they have had in the past. 

 

Canyon would not go up and dance, but he did get 2 pieces of pizza and 3 cookies!
I made him get his own drinks.
And he comes back with another cookie too!

After the Bost Dance, we did the Walmart shopping.  We were tired and done, but the lady who was hosting the Tech Mistletoe and Music Cocktail party e-mailed me twice about going to it.  I felt bad for not showing up.

So, we got dressed up again and headed out.  The weather is awesome!  The girls were in strapless dresses and it was warm!
Pretty much standing room only but we managed a few seats at the bar.
There was tons of great food and continuous live music, skits, and musical type of performances.
Sahara's hand was numb and she was seeing spots.  Oh great, another migraine.  So we left early and headed home.  It was very nice and something I'd enjoy going to next year. 

Nana and Papa are back

After visiting Brian and Mel and the kids, Nana and Papa came back thru to visit again.

Dinner at the Trailer and Nana and Papa cooking it up.
Canyon opening Georgia gifts :)
 Sahara opening Georgia gifts.


 Nana opening another duck for her collection.

Malaki is having a nice lap on Nana.


One of Misty's Christmas outfits.

We went bowling for something to do. Of course I forgot the camera so I had to take pictures with the phone.
(not such good quality)
Canyon had some good rolls, and some gutters.

Nana is up and rollin.

Papa, one time, slid to a pose on his side and hip.  But was cool enough to make it look like he meant to do it!

This one looks very good for Sahara!

I must have not done well because I hid the lane with myself!
After bowling it was 2 rounds of STIX at the house.

Crab Fest - for Misty's Birthday

To contact us Click HERE
YUMMMMMMMMMY

Nana and Papa bought about 20 clusters of crab for my birthday since finding a restaurant nearby with crab is near impossible.
Sahara was ready to dig in, but didn't eat as much as I thought she would.

My first helping.  I went back for seconds... and thirds :)

This is the remains of 15 of the clusters.  We saved 5 for another time.

Time for cake.  Double fudge :)


Then a game of GOLF.  Canyon played this time and needed help, but also did really well!

This is what I got from Sahara, Canyon, and Jared.It's so pretty!

Went to the dentist for a regular check up today.  Dr. B said we have to take those baby teeth out.  No more waiting.  The permanent teeth have been in for about 4 years now and the babies are not even the slightest bit loose yet.  He said if we wait any longer, the other babies which are starting to get loose, will come out and if the perms aren't ready to pop up in the space, the 4 year old perms will shift over and take up the space.  So, January 24th, he has to go in to have them pulled.  I warned Dr. B that this appointment today will probably be the last decent appointment we will have at the dentist with Canyon.  :(


Eye Dr. is next.  Jan 2nd.
