Francie and Harlan exchange a Christmas hug!
The Mortimer grandchildren pose for a picture with Big Daddy!
Hughes and Big Daddy hanging out!
I LOVE this picture of France!
Love this picture of Harlan just as much!
Ethlyn made all of the children's outfits for Christmas this year!
We loved her choice of blue. It looked so great on all three of them.
Next year, she will have four little bundles to wrap in
smocked adorable clothes! We always love the coordinating outfits she makes for them.
Not to mention, the outfits are that much special since they were made with lots of love!
-----------------------------------------
. Tonight we are having family over to our new home for Christmas Eve dinner.
Hope to have pictures from the night to upload soon!
This will be the first "official" meal we have had at our house!
I'm super excited and can't wait to see everyone!
I should be counting out silver right now...
...and washing dishes
...and washing clothes
...and vacuuming
...and going to the grocery store
...and preparing the food
...and cleaning up the packaging popcorn Hughes JUST dumped out of the box ALL over the floor
...and taking a shower
...and making the bed
you get the point!
I'm a procrastinator. What can I say?
I did do the flower arrangements last night and pull out the china.
That counts for something right? :)
And even though we are pulling out the fine china, glassware and silver, we are planning for a very
low key evening filled with family and laughter. There is no place setting. Just find a spot...whether it be on the floor...sofa...chair...a lap and enjoying each other's company. We just like to use our China AS MUCH as possible and ANY chance we get!
You should do the same!
Find a reason to pull out the china that you toiled over and finally decided on for your wedding gift!
We are using pieces from our Christmas China and everyday fine china, since we haven't collected a large enough set just yet.
...and it helps that family will be here to help hand wash it :)
Happy Christmas Eve!
Don't forget to bake those cookies for Santa tonight! He has a busy day/night ahead of him!
Oh! And don't forget the reindeer food. Show the hoofed friends some love too!
p.s. They love a mixture of oats, nuts, dried fruit and magic dust.
What is magic dust? Glitter. Of course!
Consider it a little extra boost for Dasher and Rudy!
Kind of like a little energy drink for their get up and go! :)
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from our home to yours this Christmas season!
