Christmas memories

(this post was written post-Christmas)

Due to someone's work schedule over the holidays, we had to celebrate on Christmas Eve.

We went to her in-laws house after work Wednesday and treated it as if it were Christmas Eve.  The roads were slick and icy.  Mom and dad already had the stockings out and we filled everyone else's with candy.  We woke up Thursday morning and found Dad snuck nuts into everyone's stockings, including ours.  Due to a packer forgetting to double check his list, we convinced daddy to let us use their ice cream for breakfast waffles for our traditional morning meal.  (Luckily, the strawberry revel refroze okay after returning home.)

The Lady and her Turbie

Yup, he's a real Eskimo!

After everyone finished breakfast, we finally opened presents.  It was interesting, I think this year we had more fun giving and preparing gifts than actually getting presents.  Jennifer was overjoyed to get several new coin banks, more than she had room for in her collectibles, and we were grateful for new Christmas socks and slippers.  As well as a battle ready shield to go with the Master sword!  The owner of this blog and uncle Dennis, naturally being fans of Star Wars, got matching T-shirts!

Michael started listening to his audioDVD of Harry Potter and everyone else pretty much took a backseat along with him.  When he turned it off, everyone was disappointed.  Later for lunch, everyone wanted to continue listening and practically begged him to press play!

One final gift arrived a little late, a new hat for a uniform a certain collector is attempting to get officialized.  Now, he has two costumes to finish putting together before SLC Comicon 2016!

The one thing that we still enjoy is time together for the holidays, no matter how little it is!  Even if its snuggling and playing Hyrule Warriors!
