Christmas has come and gone once again. We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and were able to spend some quality time with the people you love. We had a wonderful and blessed Christmas this year.
We have some family traditions that we do every year and this year was no different. We went to the parade in downtown Tulsa with my sister and her kids as well as Nick's parents, siblings, and grandma. We also made our famous Christmas cookies. This year it seemed more of a solo project on my part as Isaac and Nick didn't help very much with the cookies. They haven't been helping eat them either. Yikes.
Thanks to our good friends the Mallory's, we ventured downtown to participate in Winterfest where Isaac and Nick tested out their ice skating skills. Isaac wasn't too impressed with the whole ice skating thing, but we had fun with our friends and everyone burned their tongues on the thermonuclear hot chocolate. Do we know how to make memories or what?
We spent Christmas Eve at my mom's house. During the day we had a fun snack adventure when we tried several different recipes that we found on Pinterest. Nick and I took all the kids to church for Christmas Eve service while my mom and sister made a yummy dinner. It was a fun day with lots of family.
Christmas morning was spent with just the three of us at home opening presents.( Excuse my mess of laundry in the background.) Santa did not disappoint as he brought Isaac the Nintendo 3DS he requested.
Later in the day we went to Nick's parent's house for gifts and yummy Italian food. Isaac got the Santa suit he requested thanks to his Aunt Apo and Uncle Anky. I'm pretty sure that was his favorite gift.
This is how we all felt at the end of the day. We had several days of lots of good food, gifts, and tons of much needed family time. Now I'm ready for my much needed time off to recover from it all.
