Christmas was so great this year! Kim and Dan came into town the weekend before Christmas. Kim and I made cookies, but we were in luck because I had an electric cookie gun. No bad words were said, and we finished all the cookies in less than 2 hours!
Apparently this is a feat, as normally these cookies take all day. We played darts with the boys while they were baking. It was definitely the start of a new tradition for the girls.
We played a bunch of games of darts. Girls vs. Boys, Mom/Son vs. FIL/DIL (father-in-law/daughter-in-law) - I was on the winning team every time! It's because I am really good at darts...yeah. Let's go with that.
Dan was under the weather, so we bumped elbows to celebrate our victory!
We exchanged gifts and enjoyed time all together. Such a sweet time with family!
On Christmas Eve, Matt came over to hang out with us. The boys played darts and spent time together hanging out.
On Christmas morning, we all went over to my parents house. We had a nice lunch and opened presents. The guys all had a jam session featuring Chris on the acoustic guitar, Matt on the electric, and Dad on the drums. We facetimed Kim and Dan so they could enjoy the music!
Christmas evening my parents, Chris, and I went over to the Cork's house to celebrate with them. We ate a delicious dinner, had a very hard quiz on Christmas song trivia, played spoons (with candy canes), KEMPS, and opened presents.
I consider everyone here family and it was so nice to be able to spend time with everyone together...except Michelle - we missed you! Between college, jobs, and life, it is very rare anymore for us all to be together at the same time. 10 out of 11 ain't bad :)
Chris and I spent the rest of the night just enjoying the quiet and talking about the day. Not only did God send Jesus to the world to release us from the boundaries of the Law, he has blessed us immensely! Happy Birthday Jesus!
