Christmas Eve 2013

There's only one more sleep 'til Christmas!

We had a fantastic day together even though it was sad to not be around other Hill or Blanchard crazies.

We drove up to Mt Charleston and found some snow.

We were invited to a couple different dinner parties but we had already bought a whole bunch of food for our own dinner, and it was actually really, really nice to to be with just our little family even though we did kind of miss the feel of a big gathering.

Garen fixed us up delicious steak and shrimp. Mmm.

This is his plate.

Then Lainee helped me make dessert. Apple jack. Yum! Plus we had some Oreo cream pie stuff.

That evening, after dessert and baths, we put on a little nativity at Lainee's request.
Lainee was Mary. Garen was Joseph. Jace was the shepherd. I was the angel. (And "Big Dog" was the donkey, and then the sheep.)

Then we sang some songs, opened our PJs, and got some cookies ready for Santa to come. It was a pretty good day.

(I have no idea why the kids look so grumpy in every picture... They really weren't.)

Now we're just chillin with this awesome fake fire on Netflix... Until Santa comes.
