Christmas Eve was perfect.
-It snowed, the good kind that rolls into a huge snowball in less than 3 minutes, and we got a white Christmas.
-We had a beautiful homemade dinner.
-A few items we made... (shown are cheese stuffed jumbo shrimp wrapped in puff pastry, brie en croute, peanut butter bon-bons, and feta spinach puffs)
-Steven was in town, so he joined us for dinner.
I love this picture of Briah and Deacon, he was her secret santa this year,
and she had just opened the gift he gave her. :)
-The traditional Christmas morning cinnamon rolls, caramel style this year.
-Exploring the contents of their stockings after breakfast...
-Playing throughout the day...
-And a certain someone went and turned 13 on me.... That post to come...
-This year's Grammy jammies...
-Which were lovingly made by this wonderful couple whom we so appreciate.
-John and Karen came into town for a visit from Cali...
-Uncle John brought bottled root beer.
-Game Night with some of my siblings while John and Karen were in town....
-The Osbornlings bonding over the Kinect they got for Christmas. :)
-When Steven was in town, we got together with my siblings for the 1st Annual Christmas Ugly Sweater Party and Lame Gift Exchange.
*Disclaimer : if you have any of these outfits in your wardrobe, don't be offended, we were only after what looked ugly on us personally. I'm sure they look lovely on you.
-Melissa was the lucky recipient of this lame gift.
-And Damon was the lucky recipient of mine. :)
He jumped back when he first opened it when this little guy scurried to the other side of the box.
I picked up this sweet little rat from the pet store on the way to the party. He was totally worth the $3.
-Truly Fun Christmas this year. :)

I love the idea of the ugly sweater and lame gift exchange too bad my siblings wouldn't do it. Those cinnamon rolls look amazing I have yet to attempt to make any myself maybe next year. Oh and on your prior post what an amazing idea. I may have to look into stuff like that around here for next year for myself and Damian I had a really hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year for some reason.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you actually bought a rat for a gift!! That is hilarious! Love the pics-it's always fun to see pic of your brothers and sisters:)
I'm curious though...what ended up happening to the little guy?
