Anyway, here is a picture-filled Christmas recap:
CHRISTMAS EVE
Rach and Jaceman before our Christmas Eve dinner at El Chico's with Mom's fam!
Sister Pic! :)
Jace in his Flash mask talking to Grandad about his "I Heart Grandad" shirt, or as he phrased it, "It says, 'Dear Grandad, I love you!'" :)
Missy K showing off her shirt since Jace's was getting lots of attention. Could she be any cuter!?
Silly faces!!
Jaceman leading our table in prayer. "Hey, everyone, stop eating!! We have to pray!" lol
Kyndal Faith peeking during the prayer (and me doing the same to snap a photo!)
The cousins - me, Rach, Blake, and Emily!
Ready to open our traditional De-Icer gift from Grandad and Babah...
They attached a big surprise bonus gift with this one... which meant a lot and was very generous!
Love this - Blake hugging Babah and Rach getting ready to hug Grandad. :)
Me hugging Grandad!
Me trying on Kyndal's cowgirl hat and Josh wearing a light-up necklace! lol
Presh. Face.
JB sporting a new look! lol
Grandad being adorable!
J & T-man pretending to be dogs. lol Never a dull moment!
Eileen's sugar cookies = awesomesauce!
Family Group Pic!!
Babah and Grandad with their great-grandkids! :)
And now with their grandkids!
J and K with Bampa! =)
Grandad and Babah were looking through all the pics, and he quietly said, "Oh, I wish we'd gotten one of them all holding their checks." So I told Mom that and we got this shot right before the Parrish fam had to go!
Celebration shot! lol
CHRISTMAS MORNING
Josh and Jaceman eating pancakes! Josh made pancakes, bacon, eggs, biscuits & gravy for us for breakfast at their place! :)
Jace's morning prayer: "Thank You for Dad and for Chas and, umm..."
Josh: "Momma"
Jace: "And for Momma!" lol
So random and funny! (Chas is my cousin Emily's husband.)
Miss K playing with her new doll, courtesy of their generous neighbor, Danny! :)
I just love this picture.
She had to put on shoes to match her doll! So CUTE.
Love them so much!!
My fav Christmas day pic this year!
Nancy wasn't feeling well, so we skipped the traditional dinner with Dad's family on Christmas day. So it was more low-key than normal, but still a good day. After our breakfast at the Parrishes, Dad and I saw a movie, then I went for a walk/jog around the neighborhood (to get one last workout in before the weather turned bad), then the three of us had dinner at home and unpacked boxes and organized some stuff at Mom and Dad's new place (which has been fantastic - they moved on the 17th and I think everyone is happy to have their own space again - even me and the girlfranz when we come to visit). Here's where I'm sleeping - they're calling it "Kyndal's room," but the teenage girl style pink polka dot sheets, heart blanket and throw pillow, and paisley bedspread feels right for me even now! :)
We're making fast progress, but there's definitely still a lot to do. Building a house and moving is all such a process!! I am loving the reminiscing and finding little treasures, though!! More on that on Monday!
I'm off to watch TV and rest a bit. :) Hope you had a great Christmas, too!
