I know if I don't blog about what we did on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day that I won't remember next year.........................
Let me start by saying it was quiet - VERY quiet!! It was strange not having any gifts under the tree to open since we had already opened them - but I lit all the lights during the day to make it SEEM like Christmas and there were lots of texts flying back and forth between all the girls - 2 sets of whom were in Iowa for the holidays!
Glenn worked Christmas Eve morning but it was pretty chilly out so he was back in by early afternoon and we decided to do the 3:00 church service. The service was awesome - our praise band is really good and the first song they played was LOUD and EXCELLENT and really got us in the spirit!! They actually sounded like the Trans Siberian Orchestra playing Carol of the Bells - wow was I impressed!!! It was a great service and afterwards we ate nachos at Fiesta Mexicana and then it was home to watch a movie!
Christmas Day dawned sunny for most of the day but cold! I put a Butter Braid in the oven for breakfast which was delicious and we ended up watching a couple of Christmas movies.
Our friends John and Patti came over mid-afternoon for appetizers and drinks - we gave them a tour of the new house on the way to Cripple Creek where we ate the seafood buffet at the Wildwood! We all literally stuffed ourselves with endless crab legs and shrimp and prime rib plus all the trimmings! They even had peach crisp for dessert - yum!!
By the time we got back to our house, it had started snowing and it snowed on and off during the night - we sure didn't get the 8" they predicted but it was really pretty!!
Christmas 2014 is already gone - but the month of December memories will hold me till another year!

Very different day than us - we spent most of it traveling - but we had no problems, no delays, and got there on time! Can't beat that.
