I Had A Birthday!

We had cheesecake and ice cream, and I dressed Doug up as a ghost because I'm his mom, and I can.

 

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2015

We had a great Christmas at our house.  On Christmas Eve we did our normal tradition and saw a movie - the new Star Wars one and then ate a late lunch at Texas Roadhouse.  In the evening, we went over to Shane and Roni's house to hang out for a while.

I made Nathan take silly selfies with me.  Don't we look so surprised!

Crazy eyes!

Roni joined in with a duck face.

I took a picture of Nathan eating dip.

Shane roasted tomatoes, chilies and onions and made us an awesome salsa and 7-layer dip.

I managed to only get a picture of the girls although the boys were there too...

Onto Christmas Day!

Santa brought the girls a puppy!

They loved him immediately.  His name is Charles Alexis Harwood and he is a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix).

 Santa brought the boys an Xbox One.  They screamed like girls when they opened the present.

Such happy faces!

A couple of picture of later that day. Clara asked me if it was a dream that she got a puppy. I assured her that this was real life. So cute!

Hope you Christmas was a good one!
