Our Christmas? Was awesome. Christmas in my family is always longer than one.single.day. This year, it went on for 4 days. Rylee didn’t get a nap any of the 4 days but you know what? She rocked it. She was so awesome. She was so polite, saying multiple thank you’s to everyone who gave her a gift. The time with the family was so, so fantastic.
Quick and Dirty Recap:
Thursday: Three Sisters Baking Party! which entailed my sisters coming over and baking for 4 or 5 hours, drinking wine and eating pizza. Yumm.
Friday: Me hiking Spencer’s Butte with my sisters and cousin. Enjoying Mimosas at the top. Heading to my dad’s for the afternoon for Christmas dinner and gifts with that side of the fam and wrapping it all up with Christmas Eve mass.
Saturday: Enjoyed opening gifts just the three of us. Andy’s parents came over mid-morning, we exchanged gifts with them then they hung out for the rest of the day. My dad and sisters joined us. Where we enjoyed appetizers and BINGO! while dinner cooked. My mom, Marvin, Jonny and Keri showed up around 3:30 PM. We ate right around 4 PM. After dinner and dessert my dad and Andy’s parents took off and then we spent the rest of the evening exchanging gifts and just hanging out with Mom and the rest of the fam.
Sunday: Slept in! Headed to the Clark’s (our third family!), exchanged gifts with them and hung out for a while. Then, headed over to my Aunt’s house for afternoon appetizers, gifts and games. Andy, Rylee and I got home around 5 PM and pretty much well collapsed.
As it turns out, even with my new camera, I seriously failed at taking photos this Christmas. Not a single.family.photo. I suppose I was just swept up in the moment, busy, oh I don’t know, enjoying it!
So what you see is basically what you get when it comes to the extent of our Christmas photos. Enjoy!
