Day after our Christmas Scott and the girls go for a bike ride.  Notice the stow away in the backpack!

gifts

Scott reading the story Zephy wrote as her gift to us.  It was about a princes and her horse and it was wonderful! Me in my many scarves the girls gave me for Christmas!!

gifts from afar.

A card making kit from Aunt and Uncle, Zeph modeling the pj's her sister sewed for her, $50 from New Zealand!! And outfits from New Zealand family.  Plus so much more! Spoiled for sure!

Gifts

Emma was pleased with her gift.  Sheradia and Zeph painted photo frames for Nana and Papa. And Scott got the biggest box of chocolates ever!

Mud Pie is a tradition for Christmas but being as the girls don't like coffee (*gasp*...I know....unbelieveable!) Sheradia made an ice cream cake just for them. It was a mint oreo thing.  Christmas morning with freash fruit and coffee cake.  And the only thing dad and the girls found in their stockings was a lump of coal! (not realy we had the rest stashed aside)

Christmas Day

Because Scott had to work Christmas we took it easy and had a belated celebration with my folks.  Christmas eve we went to candle light service at church and came home to Nativity Story.  Christmas day we went to church, had lunch, made nana and papa gifts, opened a couple of games.  One game was Othello which I rememebr playing with my grandma.  It is now a household favortie here! And made yet more cookies!!!
