Sleigh bells ring - are you listening - in the lane - snow is glistening - a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight - walking in a winter wonderland!! Oh how I LOVE Christmas songs!! I've been playing them on my IPOD for a couple of weeks now and it's fun to sing along and enjoy all the old favorites!!
Our Christmas celebration with the kids was last weekend - yes, it's over and done and what a wonderful weekend it was!! Hard to believe it's already in the past but I have lots of special memories and lots of great pictures to remember it by!!
Glenn and I headed to Denver early Friday afternoon - after a stop to install a blind - (doesn't it seem like every time we head to Denver there's a blind project involved?) Traffic was light which made the trip easy and we headed to Jaime's first. Gary was working that evening and Jessi was working late so she had Evan and Kenzie.
Glenn had to meet a guy downtown to pick up an item so I stayed at Jaime's and played a game with the kids - unfortunately Gwyn was not feeling well so Jessi headed right home after work instead of stopping by. We all ate dinner together and then Glenn and I took the kids over to Jessi's where we were spending the night.
Jill's got in Friday night to stay at Jaime's and we all congregated at Jessi's on Saturday morning for our day of Christmas! We have learned that if you want pictures of the kids together - DO IT FIRST!!!
Check out their matching pj's (except Rayna) - we looked and looked for these on Black Friday and it was a real challenge to find them in all the sizes!! Aren't they cute as can be??
And then it was the mandatory family photos!!
The coffee pot was going full speed all morning - I love this picture of the son-in-laws with their coffee in hand!!
Apparently Jaime didn't get the memo that we were wearing matching pants!! One year I found these after Christmas for a couple of dollars a pair so got each of the girls one!!
And I LOVE this picture of us with the grand kids!! Next year maybe I can get organized enough to get a picture to put on our Christmas card as it sure didn't happen this year!! Evan had his eyes closed on this one but still had a cute smile!!
We started the opening of the gifts and opened for almost an hour before we stopped for homemade cinnamon rolls, courtesy of our baker - Jessi!! They were AWESOME!! And go so good with a great cup of coffee!! And then it was back to the opening with lots more pictures - to be cont'd in the next blog.................
