This was the dinner I made for Cody and I on "our" Christmas Eve which was really Dec 23. See the beautiful flowers in the background? They were sent from David, my "granddad" in England.
I LOVE this pic. This is at our home church on Christmas Eve. This is a pic that I forced to make happen :) of "youth" from our past at church. Its sort of an eclectic group because there are some friends older than Cody and I who were sort of on their way out when I joined youth. And then there are some friends here that are 4, 5, all the way up to like 8 years younger than us. And, this includes a wife and baby, grafted in to our "youth group" conglomeration. Gosh, when I look at this and see some of these girls all grown up- the ones that my friends and I thought of as "The Middle School Girls" when we were seniors- and now they are almost done with college- where did time go?!
Me, Mom, Grandma Pat, and Bethany before our meal. Mom made a wonderful Christmas dinner! It's usually at Grandma Pat's house but this year was different.
Piper guarding his stocking stuffers- between my parents, sister and Cody's grandparents, we won't have to buy him treats for like a year.
Attempting a photo with the Piper and Grandma Vi. They like each other a lot. :)
We got Piper a bed for Christmas. Its really an enormous, furry pillow. But I'm glad he loves it. This was after we came back into town, the next morning. He slept till 1 in the afternoon. I guess that bed must be something!
Sadly, this is really a very poor representation of our New Year's Eve but its all I got. All in all, we had sushi for the first time at a real Japanese Sushi bar (YUM!), then went to see Mission Impossible, then came to this- cheese and chocolate fondue (separately)! and games and fun until the wee hours with these people:
A little blurry, I know- but best we could do with that hold-your-arm-out-and-try-to-get-all-4-people-in sort of shot. Happy 2012!!!
