Christmastide 2020: Christmas Day - The First Day of Christmas: Dinner with Mom

Friday, December 25, 2020

It's been ages since we've had Mom over for dinner. I think it's been since summer and we probably ate outside. 

We all chatted for a couple of hours, then ate dinner and chatted some more. 

We had planned on watching a movie but then Mom started getting tired. She had brought a gift over for us. 

It turned out to be a beautiful edition of the four Gospels of the Bible. Lots of beautiful artwork throughout. 

Holiday Season 2017 - Last Day of School

Friday, December 21, 2017

Last day of school for 2017. The kids did pretty well although by the end of the day they had a glazed looked in their eyes with a slightly evil smile and were staring at me like I was a giant wrapped package ready to be ripped apart. I held them off by having them watch Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Haven't seen Frosty for a few years so it was fun to watch. It seemed like many of the kids hadn't seen it before either so it held their attention.

A neighbor family has this on display in their backyard. I'm planning on seeing the new Star Wars with Mom on New Year's Day.

Christmas Day 2011 - Opening Stockings

Dale got a Mrs. Potato Head - Mermaid Edition. He sure had a lot of fun putting it together. He got the "potato" in his stocking and wasn't quite sure what it was. The pieces were under the tree and when he found them it all came together and made sense.
