So in my life well documented, here are some images of Christmas Eve 2014.
Here is my darling Yumi Monster, who does like the sweater but wasn't too thrilled about the Santa hat.
Pumkin just decided to sit down under the tree. We can't have presents directly under the tree or Pumpkin would have opened them all and carried them around the house or hidden them under my bed.
Ozzie says "Merry Christmas"
Yumi again. Still wasn't quite into my idea of a Christmas photoshoot.
Moki decided to lay down - I also gave her cheese (one of her favorite words). They know "outside, cheese, bacon, and bath" - just a few words from their Doggy vocabulary.
The cats would have none of it.
Last night I made the candy; Oreo Bon Bons, Candied Pecans, and Covered Pretzels.
I used a diferent sugar cookie recipe, but wasn't impressed.
I sure do like those Christmas cookies....
Also, haystack cookies! Which apparently lots of people call "no-bake cookies"- they're wrong.
We finally left to go to my parents' house for Christmas Eve dinner and our one present that we open...and I noticed how clear the sky was as the sun was setting.
Which was pretty neat; but I had to go inside and eat dinner.
I love Mom's tree, the tinsel, the old decorations that she's had my whole life.
So it's time to eat and open gifts which we will repeat tomorrow.
I was the person who passed out the gifts, that's not usually my job.
My husband and I got a electric ice cream maker.. which will be much easier than buying ice and using salt with the other machine. So we will have ice cream this evening.
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! I hope everyone has a wonderful day today. I hope my kids sleep long enough so I can actually fall asleep for a few hours!
