Happy Birthday Jesus! He is the reason, for the season! Let's start with last night, on Christmas Eve. The kids and I baked gingerbread men, snowmen, and Palm tree (thanks to mom and dad), cookies. We set out a couple for Santa with some milk, before the kiddos went to bed. Before bedtime, last night, we watched "A Christmas Story." It's a tradition. Once the kids went to bed, Jeff and I watched "Christmas Vacation," and wrapped all the presents. Christmas morning was great, because last night, I decided to wrap the hallway entry and the kitchen entry (so the kids couldn't get through to the tree, until we allowed it). It was hilarious! Seeing them sneak over, point and look, and just wait. I told them Santa must have done that as a joke. We had our coffee, cinnamon rolls, presents, and relaxing time in the morning. It also started to snow this morning, and has been off and on all day. We did, in fact, receive a white Christmas! Such a blessing! Around lunch time, I put the prime rib in the oven, and immediately started to smell the most delicious scent of the seasoned meat cooking. The kids played around the house, and enjoyed their gifts. We also took a little drive around Parks (as we usually do on Christmas), and then prepared for our Christmas dinner. The prime rib turned out once again! Juicy and tender...so full of flavor! We had au jus for the meat, homemade mashed potatoes, peas, and rolls. So dang delicious! So now we are at the now, and I got the kitchen all cleaned up...Samantha and I are watching her new Tinker Bell movie, as Jeff and Kent, are taking advantage of the snow on the ground, freezing temps, and working on building up a sled hill. So yes, that means snowmaking continues this evening! This was a wonderful Christmas. Very blessed to have a warm and cozy home, with food in our bellies, and each other to love and support.
