Hello and warm greetings from our cozy little farmhouse in the countryside of Oregon! I hope you had a wonderful holiday time in your corner of the world. o<[]:{D
We had our son's family over for Christmas dinner last night.. our grandson Hayden was thrilled that he got to light the fire in the hearth. :-)
In an effort that we not get sucked into the television, I found a fire with Christmas songs on it.. you could even hear the blaze crackle. :-)
When the kids arrived they brought more packages.. one last snap before they are opened! :-)
Are you tired of seeing similar photos yet? LOL!
The boys spent the night and enjoyed a carefree day of playing online games with their friends.
Dinner is served! Dayle made a pot roast, Kristi helped out by peeling and cutting up the carrots and potatoes and boiling them. I lifted my glass of sparkling cider and toasted the family and told them how much I loved them and how they made our holiday perfect. Clinking glasses all around and general agreement. :-)
Then Kristi passed out the presents. She spoiled little Mocha with a pink soccer ball, a cute little gnome and Starbarks stuffed toys. Mocha was in heaven!
The guys. The boys loved their gifts and seemed very happy. We gave T&K a lighted city like the one we got and love. Kristi gave me a Grandma ornament and 2 really neat hand-blown glass pumpkins. They gave Dayle a few shirts and some fun candy items and a box of wonderful homemade cookies, fudge and truffles. Yum.
Travis was trying out some of the fudge given to us by our friend Anna.. Mocha was hoping for a sample.. :-)
Before the kids even left Mocha had disemboweled the gnome.
She also has done a number on the cute Starbarks Peppermint Mocha. :-)
This morning Dayle and I opened our gifts to each other and we gave this one to Mocha. I wonder how long this one will last?
Dayle gave me this cute little pink glass nesting bunny. I gave him 2 striped t-shirts and an organizer for his letters and pens, etc. :-)
Here's wishing you the very best, sending warmest wishes your way. Thank you for visiting today - and have the happiest of a new year in 2020! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Lovely joining you all here Teresa ❤❤🎅🎅
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas. Your dinner looks great too and such a wonderful array of gifts. Chloe has never chewed her toys but little Sophie does the same thing Mocha does. Except her bunny. She doesn't chew it. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe had a quiet day. We face-timed with all of the kids and Tara's parents in London. Neal and Jenny came for a ham dinner then the four of us went to see Mr. Rogers at the movie theater. It's the first time that we've done that on Christmas and I was amazed aat how busy the theater was. It was packed! 18 theaters and they were all sold out! On Christmas! Who would have thought? I just didn't want to stay in an empty house with no kids.
It's all over way too fast. Dennis gave me a very nice gift card to Hobby Lobby. I gave him some clothes. We were both happy and content.
Wishing you and Dayle a wonderful day after.
Blessings,
Betsy
ha! ha! It's nice to hear that it's not only my dogs that demolish stuffed dog toys.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas dear Teresa, it looked fab at yours. We got home today and had a lovely Christmas Eve and day with our big and small babies. Just waiting for Matt,his GF and Bear to arrive for Boxing day tea...more fun and crackers! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful time with your family and dear Mocha. My boys got lots of hard bones and two leather indestructible toys from a friends that were in the garbage bin 20 minutes after they were opened because all the stuffing was out of them. So glad you had a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a lovely time, and I enjoyed reading about it. I texted back and forth with loved ones throughout the day, and Elisabeth and Gary came over mid day. We shared a roast beef dinner and for dessert, cookies and candy that had been sent to us. We completed two puzzles while watching two Christmas movies, too. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteOh what fun it is to be at teresakasners house!
