Rules, Rules, Rules....
No family Gatherings. Yeah ok thanks Government for taking care of us dummies who can't make any decisions for our selves..
all in all we had an amazing Christmas month
Dec 19, we watched Grady's baptism via zoom and ate a wonderful ham dinner then went to a live nativity put on in the park so vehicles could drive by and see it. Mac Strong and his family did an awesome job, even hosting live animals. After that we looked at a few Christmas lights and then went back to the halls to watch a Christmas movie and eat homemade caramel pop corn which was super yummy.
Dec 20 was Macies birthday and we got together again and enjoyed More food and visiting
Dec 21, Abbie and Brady put on a scavenger hunt around town regarding certain lights we had to find.
Aunt Corrine Dropped by just before Christmas and gave the kids super cute ginger bread houses. Kansas was so adorable when she got hers. She was very excited.
Christmas Eve, we went to the Halls house and ate a ton of amazing finger food:
Meat, cheese, and Pickles.
chicken wings,
spinach dip
fudge
cookie pies
mango salsa
brie,
bacon wrapped jalapeños
and dirty sodas
We ate like kings, amazing kings.
Opened up our Christmas jammy's and played a Christmas white elephant game and read a few Christmas stories and songs.
Then we came home to get ready for Santa.
We read the night before Christmas and put out milk and cookies and carrots and the kids got a healthy dose of melatonin and they went to sleep. Grandma slept over to wake up with the kids.
Christmas morning was amazing. well the parents were tired. See Macie was up at 2:30am and Wade 4:30am but luckily they both were back asleep.
Presents started to be opened at 7am. Everyone did quite well. Kanzy got a puppy that did not bite or jump up. Wade got some war stuff, and macie got a skate board.
In the early afternoon we went over to the Halls to enjoy more food and visiting. After dinner had settled down, we did a talent show.
Macie sang and played the piano
Wade told some jokes
and the adults did a funny skit.
It was truly a Christmas to remember. Many new traditions were formed and old ones renewed. Our hope is to continue this magic for years to come.
