December Twenty-fourth

Christmas celebration has truly begun! Advent is a time of quiet anticipation,  but God is really into celebration too, right?

We girls went out today.  We shopped for make-up at ULTA and clothes at Ross. I escaped with only a facial exfoliator.

It's my oldest's birthday. He made his delicious pizza for everyone.  He's going to have a big cake.

Now they're all playing 'Settlers of Catan.'

 Julia LOVES to do that look.😎 oh goodness. I just noticed Adam's and Gramm's expressions!

Kara's nice uncle sent these amazing chocolate strawberries . Somebody's been nibbling! 

Adam's sweet mom also sent us her baklava, among other delicious things.

We're not fancy folks, but we have lots of fun together and enjoy each other during these rare holidays together.  We love and miss those who can't be here this year!
