How it ended and began….the annual holiday recap <3

So here we go with what is basically like you came over and I set up the projector and showed you pictures of our Christmas Vacation…only I have edited it down.

Probably not enough and for those that don’t like pictures…I will see you tomorrow but here we go…

the Reader’s Digest Version of how it went down.

We squeezed Christmas lunch/brunch, stockings, gifts and such in between Sarah playing the Christmas Eve services that went on All.Day.

There were poppers and crowns….

for everyone…

of all ages….

Rocco got a new chew toy…

and made a new BFF

Uncle John learned how to put mittens on a two year old.

Hint: you lower your expectations by a thumb….and then….

schooled the nephews at snow ball fighting.

We got him back by harassing him with a saxophone playing stuffed snowman which he managed to hide…

in all kinds of creative places…

We passed on Mario and Luigi to a new generation…

and learned some new games on our phones that we hope didn’t give Russia access to our data…

We read stories….

took selfies…

made banana bread….

visited our favorite Missouri resident….

ate a fantabulous lunch…

Hosted an overnight for the wild bunch while these two kids attended a New Years Eve wedding….

and we have officially welcomed in 2018…

Whew….now we need a nap.

Here’s to the 364 days left of this year’s journey…can’t wait to walk it out together <3
