Christmas Day

Here is the tree scene waiting and waiting.......

We woke Gavin up at 8:15. He has never been an early riser.

We headed off to a short church service and came back to open presents.

Our friends came over to share Christmas dinner with us.

We had a wonderful day!

Merry Christmas!!

Baking and such

Made some goodies and delivered them. I ate half of them. Guess the diet will start in January. (This sounds familiar). Drug Gavin and my chair outside for a picture in the snow. He was a good sport.

Gingerbread House

Doing a little construction on the gingerbread house all on his own. Gotta love it!

Nutcracker

Our little town was showing a performance a of the Nutcracker with help from the Russian Ballet. Some of the local young girls got to dance with them. Gavin was familiar with the music, so I took him to show him what it was from. I enjoyed it, but Gavin not so much. Oh well, I think we need to go see a big production with an orchestra. Maybe someday if I can get him to go again.

Friday Night

Gavin has been asking to make s'mores for a long time, so tonight we turned on the fireplace and had a roast.

Very yummy!

Sunday Dessert

Tonight we made another yummy dessert I found on Pinterest. Everyone said it was a winner!

Snow

It's beginning to look a like lot Christmas.

Okay, it probably won't last, but it is wintery!
