1. I flew into Boise last Saturday morning. Dad picked me up and we went to see Grandpa who is recovering from being sick in a rehab center. Dad and I ran some errands before returning home. It is always so fun to be home for the holidays. Becky and Troy came with the kids for a visit and then Tenielle surprised us, as she wasn't going to come until Sunday.
2. Sunday mom and dad spoke in church and the choir sang several songs. It was a beautiful Christmas service.
3. Monday I got a very minimal trim to the back of my hair, chatted with Callie while she did moms hair, went to the dentist and spent some time with Alisha.
4. Wednesday Tenielle and I went to see Dr. Dan. My CA 125 was 7. It is always good to see him, especially when he has good news. I can now push my visits from every 2 months to every 3!
5. It snowed Christmas Eve which was perfect for a White Christmas. Our family dinner and Christmas Program that I put together went well. The best part was Grandpa feeling well enough to sing us several songs. We then went home where dad read the Christmas Story from the bible and we opened our Christmas PJ's. Tristen, Mitch and the girls came Christmas Eve!
6. Christmas morning was so much fun with the girls. My favorite gifts were jewelry, a new camera, raspberry lime balsamic vinaigrette and play tickets. The kids all came over for breakfast at noon and then we had Christmas all over again. I love our tradition of giving our favorite thing from the year to each other!
Can you tell the difference between the old camera and the new one? So much clearer pictures.
Aidree likes to pull funny faces, along with the rest of my family.
We are a card playing family!
7. Today we stayed home cooking, watching football bowl games, dancing in the kitchen and playing cards because it is just too cold to go outside. It's been rather relaxing to say the least. I like days like this!
I love this sweatshirt that I got in Alabama years ago. It is so comfy.
Tenielle makes the very best baklava ever!
