Christmas 2015

 

Christmas Eve

 

Beautiful relaxing day spent

making some crafts.

Are they just too cute?

Got carried away hah

 

 

 

Judah and I before leaving for

Christmas Eve service

Wanted to wear a Christmas

sweater but since it was so darn

hot in NJ I had to compromise

and at least wear my red scarf !

 

First stop was our traditional

Christmas Eve dinner at the diner.

I always get Greek Salad w/Salmon

So delicious !

 

Then on to the service at our church

This is my 9th or 10th Christmas at

Maranatha . . .

 

 

They always decorate so lovely

 

Service was wonderful . . .

Wonderful music:

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

Light of the Stable

Born Is The King

The First Noel

Christmas Must Be Tonight

Angels We Have Heard On High

Joy to The World

Children Go Where I Send Thee

O Holy Night

Bethlehem/Angels in the Sky

Silent Night

 

Christmas morning . . .

hubby made me bacon & eggs.

 

Had a great time with Percy & Judah

it was there first Christmas!

 

Judah with his new toy from Santa

 

Percy with his new toy from Santa

 

 

My sweet friend Maria sent via US Postal service a

gift to the boys from her dog Myles. HAH

They enjoyed it.

 

Christmas is making Judah bonkers !

 

 

Percy likes his Santa mouse.

 

 

Mom was trying to put together their new gift

from Mom and Dad but the boys were quite anxious !

 

 

Percy is not sure how to pull the chicken string and

knock the treats out of the hole.

 

 

Meanwhile, Judah says, I got this mastered and he did !

Took him a minute to knock out all the treats and they were gone.

 

 

Christmas morning is exhausting when you are only

9 & 7 months old hah

 

 

My hubby is very observant and always thinking !

He got me a cool women's tool box.

I am the one who builds everything in our family and this

is just the coolest.  All the tools are pink also !

 

He said, I noticed your tool box is about 20 years old.

( hah it is true had it since I was 20 )

 

 

He also got me kitty and westie ice cube trays

 

 

And a Dallas Cowboys snuggie.

Hard year for my Cowboys with Tony injured but

looking forward to next season  . . .

 

 

Hubby also got me a neat wooden jewelry box of a cat.

It's one of the trick ones where you have to find the key

to open it.  And an adorable piggy bank that when you put

your coin on it a kitty comes out and takes it into the bank.

 

After opening our presents we headed to Mahopac  NY to

Gary's cousins Steve and Bonny's home.

We had a good time with them and their son Taylor.

He is 7 going on 50, I swear this kid is a riot.

He received a ton of Lego's and he had them built

in about 2 hours.  He did an 800 piece lego by himself

in an hour.  He is a smart kid.

 

Here he is building his gingerbread house.

 

 

Gar's Mom, Aunt Rose and sister Linda were also with us.

Bonny made a delicious ham dinner.

 

She has just started doing ceramics and made us this

beautiful dish.

 

 

Hubby received shoes, Flintstone gym bag

and wallet, I love cats cup and mug.

He enjoyed all his gift also.

 

We are both looking forward to what

the Lord has planned for us in this

New Year 2016 bring it on !

 

We don't know what the year will

bring but we know and love the One

who does . . .  ours is just to TRUST !

 

Proverbs 16:9

A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
