I have not given up blogging, life just keeps going by too fast for me to keep up with regularity. Here is some documentation that we are still around.
We had a marvelous Christmas this year. It was pretty small, as much of our extended family was away (permanently or temporarily) so our kids were the only ones. We did have one family of cousins together at the grandparent house for Christmas Eve, but Christmas day at our house was pretty quiet. Here are a few pictures just to show that we didn't miss Christmas.
Dawsyn is pretty obsessed with gum. She was with me for picking our some stocking stuffers and picked out her own gum. She asked for a few weeks when she could have her gum. She polished off this whole 60 piece pack before the day was up. She was kind and generous sharing with her sisters but still crazy amount of gum she can go through. Good thing it doesn't happen very often.
Paul was up surprisingly early on Christmas morning to tinker with his new toy on Christmas morning. He was doing the Christmas turkey on his Big Green Egg. We had a miscalculation of the time in which the turkey would take to cook, and so were anticipating 7 hours. So he was up to have it on his smoker by 7am. The bird was actually completed cooking before 11am so it had to come off the BBQ and wait for us to be ready for it. Paul wrapped it in tin-foil and then in towels and it stayed warm until we ate at 4. It was delicious!
I love Paul's BBQ attire. I laughed at the pajamas, white socks and dress shoes combo.
The girls in their Christmas jammies.
Marshall with his still favorite guy. This kid loves his great grandpa!
Paul and Grandpa are a great team. These guys really work well together. Paul is easy and of course he can do no wrong in Grandpas eyes as he will always be the "Golden Child".
The process of wrangling a family picture- kids running and playing and being silly. Pretty normal around here.
