Christmas

Christmas 2022 was pretty low key for us. Since we don't have a kitchen right now, we didn't host a dinner. The kids came over on Christmas morning and we opened up presents.  We tried to tone it down this year a little bit, but I think everyone was happy with what they got. 

Scott received a new beanie with a built-in light for walks in the dark with the pups, a new Classic Car calendar, and a Jeremy Bearimy T-shirt (from The Good Place). I got a certificate for an Afternoon Tea at the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle (on 1/15) and a mini food processor. We got combined gifts of a new board game (Concept--which was really fun but hard), a certificate for dinner & a movie, and cute little poop bag holders that you hang on the leash.

Corey received some baby books, onesies, a cute baby outfit, two sticker books, a 3-glass jar set, and a chocolate lava cake bake set that included ramekins.  Terrell got two white dress shirts, a Coug t-shirt, Coug socks, and a new Ticket to Ride game.  They also got a combined gift of a glass jellyfish for their nursery or to hang outside to use as a windchime.  

Gabby got new pants, a water bottle, a bottle of Empress Gin, and a bunch of candles.  Ethan got new boxing gloves, sunglasses, a black sweatshirt and a Venom T-shirt. They got combined gifts of a bird jigsaw puzzle (from Gamma), an immersion blender, and a bird sticker book.  Everyone also got cash and some gift cards to Target (everyone), Red Robin (Corey), Dominoes (Terrell) and Grub Hub (Gabby & Ethan).  Santa brought them some good stuff in their stockings since they were all good this year. Oh, and the puppies each got a bone to keep them busy while we opened our gifts. 

After opening presents we played some games then headed over to Terrell's grandma's house for food.  Unfortunately, she was not there because earlier in the week she fell on the ice and broke both ankles and was in the hospital!  We hear she is doing better and has now been moved to a rehab facility.  What a way to spend Christmas!

I didn't take many pictures but here are a few.

Santa always brings her a candy cane filled with peanut butter cups.
