I didn't quite get this posted in December like I was hoping, but I'm about three weeks ahead of when I got around to writing my November post, so that counts for something, right?
 |
| I'm not even ashamed to admit that this is totally sleeping in and I love every minute of it |
 |
| 8:00 Play dough was a a popular gift item at Christmas with Darrell's family, and it has continued to hold the boys' interest, so I'll make peace with the mess and count it a win! |
 |
| 9:00 My grandma (mom's mom) turns 98 today! We're going to celebrate her birthday tomorrow when we go out to Mitchell (which is also our Christmas celebration with my mom's family) and I was volun-told by my mom that I would be providing the cake |
 |
| 10:00 Taking a break from the cake for some puzzle time with my favorite six-year old |
 |
| 11:00 Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get ready since we're starting our Christmas celebration with my dad's family today at 11:30 (nothing like a super busy weekend of Christmas celebrations at 8 months pregnant!) |
 |
| 12:00 Nothing but chaos with my dad's side of the family (I'm not sure if we were having our annual photo shoot with Grandpa or getting ready to sing Christmas carols or both!) |
1:00 Forgot to take a picture, but just imagine a similar scene to the one above--lots of people, lots of food, and lots of chaos packed into my sister's house
 |
| 2:00 The annual bowling outing has officially started, but we are getting a quick loop in on the interstate so Connor can catch a little bit of a nap and hopefully survive the rest of the afternoon |
 |
| 3:00 Bowling! |
 |
| 4:00 I think they were getting a little stir crazy after nearly two hours at the bowling alley... |
 |
| 5:00 So of course it was a great idea to take them across the street for our annual Christmas dinner of Chinese food! (To be fair, I make it sound worse than it was. While it was a super long afternoon, the boys were definitely troopers. And we even managed to polish off a full two plates of our Chinese food!) |
 |
| 6:00 Home at last--doing what else but more puzzles |
 |
| 7:00 Snack time! |
 |
| 8:00 Feeling accomplished (and acting silly) after getting the boys down for an early bedtime |
 |
| 9:00 Time to finish the cake! |
 |
| 10:00 Cake: done. Bedtime snack: eaten. Crazy family Christmas Day One: survived. Time for a little putzing and then off to bed for Crazy Christmas Day Two tomorrow! |
 |
| Bedtime! |
