And here's the proof!
These poor children were so tired. They really did fall asleep like this. I woke Lilly up and got her to put her seat back a little bit because her neck would have really been hurting by the time we got home.
We spent Christmas Eve (saturday) at home, opening our gifts from friends, family and one another. We were very thankful to have recieved some games. We LOVE playing games! We also watched some Christmas movies and just had a nice relaxing day at home.
Chip being a chihuahua is always cold in the winter and anytime I have my electric blanket out he comes to snuggle.
"Ahhh! Finally, I am warm!"
Then, Christmas Day (sunday), we headed over to Twisp and spent the morning/afternoon with two very dear ladies, Kimmie and Ruth. Chris had a great bible study for us on the birth of Jesus. The girls and Samuel behaved very well and I was able to hear the whole thing! We also sang some songs and Chris and Lilly played the piano for us.

After we sang songs, I asked Chris and Lilly to play the song they played at the recital because I didn't get a great view. So here is Chris and Lilly playing the same song.
(In case you were wondering, at the end of the video I noticed I was
standing way too close to the heater)
It was such a beautiful drive over Loup Loup pass that morning. On the way home I had Chris pull over so I could take some pictures.

Look closely and you can see deer in the field.

After we got home we got busy cooking our Christmas Dinner. We had a very tasty turkey with all the fixins. Here is something new I tried this year (pictured below). We paired this with some whole wheat Ritz crackers.
I hope you all had a great Christmas! Now I must stop blogging and finish packing. We are taking a trip to Oregon to visit and spend New Years with some friends. What do you have planned for New Years?
