Christmas!

These are totally out of over.  You'll be just fine. 

 New Year's Eve.  We went over to J&E's house and played games.  We had chips and dip and lots of yummy treats.  I don't remember but I think the girls got DOMINATED in Canasta... but I can't remember.
 Christmas Eve
This year we were very sad that we didn't get to go home for Christmas.  J&E invited us to spend Christmas Eve with them.  We went to dinner at this Chinese Buffet place.  Not very good.  Brian didn't even like it...  We came back to the house and had a small musical program with a couple stories. All said and done we were wrapped up by 8:00 PM.  We went home in hopes that we could Face Time with everyone in Idaho and it would be like we were right there with everyone.  There were technical difficulties and it didn't work.  Very sad Jessica. f
 Brian was this year's victim of the song 'Who has a beard that's long and white.' I think it's called Must Be Santa?
 New Year's Eve.  Eating our cake along side of our sparkling cider.
 Christmas Eve.  We thought it would be appropriate to have a picture in front of our house for our first Christmas.  Notice no snow.  We have snow now and it is freezing!  And I love my Christmas lights but it was too light to turn them on to see them.
 We kept the breakfast tradition alive this year.  We went to Cracker Barrel and had pancakes, ham, juice, biscuits and gravy, fried apples and eggs.  All for 8.99 folks.
 Ignore that I don't look so lovely.
 My loot that Brian hid.
 Brian's loot.  I thought I was smart getting boxes out to put all of our stuff in.
 Before diving in.
 He ended up a happy man.
 Christmas morning in front of our tree.
 He doesn't look happy does he???
 My stocking...
 Really nice new golf balls...
 Movies for us both...
 A shop vac.  YEA!!! Now Brian has no excuse to use my nice vacuum outside on crazy things!!
 My loot again...
 My Santa Stuff:)  Santa must like me.

 All of Brian's stuff
These are the really cute Ho Ho Ho signs that E made me.  They looked really cute up on my mantel.
