O'er the Mountain

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

Howdy!  Here's our Christmas photo album.  We kept with tradition and celebrated Christmas Eve with my family, but headed over the mountain for Christmas at David's sister and brother-in-law's.  We descended on our hospitable hosts Sunday night, and were welcomed with the most thoughtful basket of treats in our room.  After playing hard for a couple days, they sent us home with professional quality pictures of our time spent there.  So cool!  Thank you for everything, Evan and Elisa!  If the video in my last post wasn't enough to bore you, I'll try again with this multitude of Christmas pictures!  A couple family members even complained of the video's length... ouch!:)  We should have done more editing/removal in our slick, rapid-fire, technology-saturated world, but you know computers are not my thing!  My mom is most definitely falling behind on the times of technology because she cried and laughed at the video like only a patient grandmother could {oh, and Pam, too:)}!
Christmas Eve
We came home from the candlelight service at church, had the best tri-tip steak dinner your mouth could ever imagine, then promptly began the gifts at my parents!
Paper was flying!
I absolutely love how my family adores each other. 
Uncle Zach and Evie
Grampy and Jules
Sheer joy!
 Christmas Morning

Pictures of the week, Video & Merry Christmas!

Last week my Dad was telling me about the first time his Grandpa ate a banana. Apparently, he had always wanted to try one, and when he finally ate his first one, he ate it, peel and all, and was understandably not very impressed! He, he!  We have so much to be grateful for. We are blessed with so much. I can get a banana just about any day of the week.:) I am reminded of our many blessings this Christmas and always!

The little nuts are not getting an exorbitant amount of gifts, but a few thoughtful ones that I am jittery-excited about! They are gonna freak!:)
We are so thankful for our baby Bright
first piggies {barely!} for church on Sunday
Christmas shopping with Mama at the local toy store.

Filberts roasted on our wood stove... a favorite snack right now

I am touched and thankful for the love and care Olivia shows for her babies.
Important discovery this week... I put orange zest in the white chocolate for the biscotti {like the bliss bars} and I wouldn't have thought it possible, but the biscotti are even more delicious!
Table set for Christmas morning... we do what we can to feel prepared!

Thank you, Melissa K., for sending this photo of SweetP at the microphone... he really did have a solo..his voice is so sweet!
He and his sister were doing some spontaneous Christmas singing one night for David and I, and Uncle Richard put the videos together for me. Thank you, Richard!
Jingle Bless x 100!:)
 

I know the pictures/post is pretty random, but we wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas one last time!
