Christmas

 We had a wonderful Christmas.  We spent a lot of time laughing, playing games and watching movies.  We saw a bit of snow and of course, it was cold!  

We are certainly blessed! 

Lily Grace and I killing some time before mass.  Mr. Serious makes us get there waaaay early for a good seat.  

After Christmas Eve mass we enjoyed a warm homemade lasagna and tiramisu followed by a cozy fire where watched Elf.  That's one Christmas movie that remains funny no matter how many years you watch it. 

This year, Lily asked for all art supplies, furniture and accessories for her new art studio.         

                       

Always first so we can have some peace while we try to open gifts. 

This was the year of "likeminded" for Gracie and I.  We stuff each other's stockings. Lily and I got the biggest laugh when we realized we had gotten each other three of the same things, right down to the exact color of nail polish. 

Gracie gave Matt a personalized Yetti cup with a message that brought about laughter.  

Matt pulled a surprise off!  That's a big deal for him.  He surprised me with a diamond solitaire necklace I've had my eye own.  He even made Lily think she knew what was in the box so she was just a surprised as me.  

We surprised Matt with a new Ping driver and some new golf shoes.  

Lily is a huge Marvels fan and especially Black Widow.  She was super excited to get this tee.  Now she just needs the movie to release.

If you live where it snows often, you get tired of it and the mess it makes but Christmas break is the one time you just love it!

Lily Grace got me this really cool indoor herb garden kit for Christmas.  She and I set it up.
