Christmas week was full of family, food and well.. more food of course! With having only 2 of the three levels complete, we crowded 17 of us on the main level for as much chatting and laughing as we could get in. Actually, I did not take a picture of it but the tent trailer was fully set up in the garage for the K's to sleep in. No, serious, fully set up! We put the newlyweds in the cold basement with an air mattress and fake fireplace... ahhh how romantic...and the rest of us were in beds throughout the rest of the house. It was a great time and memories were made.
Time for a sister picture but first this took place....
And then this...
Some more family conversations
And silliness...
and smiles....
then there's the Dramatic look...
and joyfulness...
Of course family game time was a hit. We played some crazy game on the iPhone that you guess the words. Anyhow, it was fun and a little bit crazy too! I'd like to say my team won but we didn't this time. Hey, We're All Winners, right? So the saying goes. :)
We took a trip to the barn where Becca works for the K nieces and nephew to ride a horse. It was cold, brrrrr. They did so great! The horse was so much bigger than they were and they walked up without fear taking it all in.
This little pickle was very stoic and not willing to look our way for a picture. She was practicing for her future rides in horse shows, I'm sure of it!
We did do some crashing and resting too.
So the week ended with New Year's Eve! These beauties got all gussied up for a BIG outing.
The movies of course. Hey, why not get dressed up to see Hunger Games!
I love this last picture. It felt so right looking in from the outside. Our family had left, all was quiet, lights twinkling, and the room still. After a busy week of fun, quiet and still was in order.
Merry Christmas!
