Holiday Fun

Merry Christmas to the wonderful people who make my life so nice. We begin with a few of the people who came to the cookie exchange at my office. A sweet start! My black bottom coconut cookies won the prize!As you can see the competition was steep.Lauren invited Todd over for an early Christmas on Wednesday since he was going to his families home for the weekend. One on the things she got him was a stocking filled with goodies and how cute it was - matched his new boots!On to making the Gingers and rest of the cookies for the enjoyment of all.Lauren got in on the fun.
Such a cute couple!Time for cards --- we can't get enough of the games - even with football on TV the guys played on...
Time for the annual pyramid. We have a new member this year. Did you notice? We had a mission! We needed more games and so an early gift for Chris and Katie was opened and more games began! If you haven't played it, Settlers of Catan is so fun, an expansion version made it even better.Can't have a Christmas Eve without John reading "The Night Before Christmas." Age doesn't matter in this house!Even Duncan paid attention this year!But not for too long....his tiger was calling.Christmas morning already? The PJ's and the gifts are all in place. Who was the first to get started unwrapping???? He just couldn't wait!Go to Katie's blog to get the full scoop on the attack. It was something!
G&G sent some specialty gifts from Germany.Holly made us all calendars of Rehobeth beach with a group photo. It is so precious! I love all the photos of little reminders of all the special places and fun times. So nice!Eric got another fun project for you know who.After a quick building, Eric starting getting Duncan comfortable with the height. It is high!My favorite - as always - is my stocking with the ornament made just for me. How can it get better than this??? These kids are so creative. I am so blessed! Thank you everyone and Merry Christmas!
