For years our Christmas morning traditional breakfast was scrambled eggs and cinnamon rolls. It had been years since I actually ate one of the cinnamon rolls. I just decided to change it up. I told Mike I would like to change the cinnamon rolls to Kodiak pancakes. He was all for it. So was Katie. Turns out we were all doing the cinnamon rolls because of the tradition and none of us really wanted to eat those sugary things. Ha! Bacon, pancakes and scrambled eggs. Let the new tradition begin.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care. They were too heavy to hang on anything.
This is what it is all about. A Child is born and His birth is celebrated this day. It is really incomprehensible how God sent his son to be born into this world so we could live a new creations in Him. He did and we are new creations in Christ! What a sacrifice. So much unconditional love.
So good to have Katie home for Christmas.
Everyone needs a years supply of soft toothbrushes!!
The Instant Pot!
We got this funny flying monkey that screams at a white elephant gift exchange. Murphy wanted tit but didn't know quite what to do with it. He just carried it around.
No white Christmas in Spokane but a few miles up the road there was a dusting of snow. We went to Deer Park to visit the grandkids and their parents.
We took the flying monkey. You can see it on the top of the picture between the closed door and the open door. We were told we couldn't leave it with the Lathrop family.
Layne is in there somewhere. Her new chair.
Trying out the monkey. It was a hit for awhile.
More monkey business.
Mike found a comfy chair!
Layne
Lucy
Before we left we all played Jenga. So fun.
Mike had the first crash. He actually got the block out but hit the tower with his elbow.
Lucy loves soft stuff.
Here comes crash number two! Lucy got the block out but while setting it on top it collapsed.
It was so good to spend a couple of hours with Justin, Kristin, Layne and Lucy on this Christmas Day.
We are so blessed with a wonderful family, all of them!!!! I couldn't be more proud!!!!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!
