This year my mom and dad and the Mcdowells joined us for Christmas Eve. We had a yummy dinner which included cooking my very first ham. Brett and I had bought a 4-H pig at the high school fair auction so we had two smoked bone-in ham butts that we needed to cook up. I found a couple recipes on Pinterest and decided to go with a yummy honey mustard glaze.it actually turned out really tasty. We also had veggies, salad, rolls and dessert. Later that evening we gave away our annual Christmas jar to a family in need. Ben and Brett had thought of a patient they both treat that could really use it. It was a perfect evening.
Our funny, little tree all ready for Santa to visit.
Christmas morning was a success. Ray ended up getting the ultimate easy bake oven, cowgirl boots, jamberry nails, tennis shoes, sparkly pink boots, a comforter for her new room and a few other fun, little things.
Mr. B scored in the clothes dept. and not just any clothes but cool athletic shorts, shirts, shoes and socks like his cousins Grady and Carson. He also for some fun teenage mutant ninja turtle toys and the new TMNT movie. Him and Rig also got comforters for their new room and a new DVD/blue Ray player.
Riggy got a fun, red quad that he can ride anytime. He loved it and was making this vroom vroom noises as he pushed it around. He also got a few other new toys.
He kind of got disinterested in all the presents and just wanted to eat breakfast. He was so hungry he just bit out of an orange: peel and all. He quickly realized that didn't taste too good.
Later that afternoon we headed down to the Flaherty's to spend Christmas evening with them. Rig was having fun riding around in the wagon.
Terri had been dying to get her new 2014 grandbabies in a pic together. She got them these cute shirts so they could all make 2014. It was a little bit challenging trying to get them all to sit still (well rig and Landry) but we managed to get a cute one. Rig wasn't clapping and waving his hands around but then quickly tried to attack Landry.
That night Bradock spent the night with the rest of the boy cousins at grandma and grandpas while Ray went to Stella's for a sleepover. Brett headed down south to hunt with chance so Rig and I stayed at my parents condo with them. The next day Tanner took the boys for a game at Top Golf. They had a blast. Then Grandma Debby, the kids and I went over to Sarah's to have lunch and exchange cousin gifts.
Later that evening we played outside at the condo before Brett got home and we headed to the annual Flaherty Cousin game night. We played the right, center, left game and the name game. Both were super fun. Brett went out hunting again late that night and the kids and I headed back to Payson on Saturday. It was a super fun week full of family and friends.
