Latest Movies
We watched a couple of movies lately that we really enjoyed. Ant-Man was good...really funny. Michael and I watched 90 Minutes in Heaven and really liked it. These are both worth watching.
Life Lately
This Stumptown coffee is so so good. Every once in a while I get a craving for a chocolate peanut butter protein bar.
Listening to music and making Christmas snacks...
I made Christmas crack this year...
The day after Christmas I made homemade sausage biscuits and gravy...
The boys and I enjoyed a cup of coffee...I used my new owl mug that Michael got me for Christmas.
Jar drew a scene from Doctor Who...
I got some great books from the Library...

Jar began working on another drawing...
I made one of our favorites...cream cheese pastries. They are so so good...and very easy.
We had some beautiful, but very cold weather after Christmas...
Jar finished his second drawing...another Doctor Who drawing...
Then, we actually got some snow on Sunday morning. The roads got really icy by about 11 a.m. and throughout the rest of the day.
Just looking cute...
Michael and I got salads for lunch. I think it is funny how close ours were with what we put on them.
Christmas 2015
We had a wonderful Christmas together. Michael had wanted to go away, but the boys were really glad to stay home this year. We enjoyed Christmas Eve at home (Cam worked until 6:30 p.m.). I made lots of fun snacks, and we watched Elf. The boys had never seen this movie. We had a lot of fun...we also opened a few gifts from Aunt Sherry.
Then, we began our Christmas festivities at 9:30 on Christmas morning.

We then read the Christmas story in Luke 2, which we do every single year. We never tire of reading the story. We also sang many Christmas songs.
Then, we opened all of our present...one at a time...from youngest to oldest.

Of course, we enjoyed our wonderful tradition of oatmeal and ice cream.
Cameron played all of his new piano music...he got the first five Harry Potter movies music books.

We enjoyed using or setting up our Christmas gifts. Then at 3:30, we left for Mom/Grandma's house.
This was the spread of food at Mom/Grandma's house...
Mom/Grandma's house always looks so festive at Christmas.
We chatted while waiting for the food to be all set up...
We took some photos...
After we ate all of the yummy food, the teens made dubsmash videos. Here are a few of them...
Here are the gifts that I brought home from Mom's house...
Mom/Grandma got the teens these animal popper keychains (the ball pops out when squeezed). The teens had more fun with this toy...
It was such a wonderful time together for Christmas. I'm glad the boys had fun with their cousins making videos.
