It is now New Year's Day and I am finally posting pictures from Christmas.
I picked up Mom and Rick from the airport at about 8 pm on Christmas Eve and we went to my house. We spent the evening chatting and watching tv, then we went to bed.
Christmas morning we woke up and ate a lovely breakfast casserole, then I took Shady for a hike. Once we were all ready for the day we went over to see Denise. Brian's mom gave her an electric turkey fryer, and I am so jealous. I spent some time looking through the recipe book at all of the delicious things that you can deep fry. Sean had cooked turkey, ham, stuffing, and probably a vegetable, but I don't remember, so we stayed for lunch. After lunch we went to see Little Fockers at the theater.
When the movie was over we stopped at Jo's place and I remembered to get my camera out. We ate cheese and pepperoni on crackers and caramels while we chatted and admired their gifts.
On Sunday it was the Wassom family party. There was a ton of good food and conversation.
After the party Steph's family stopped by my house to see the dogs. Shady loves Brian!
On Monday we went up to Steph's to see what the girls got for Christmas, then we went out to lunch. Apparently I didn't think to take any pictures while we were there. Later that evening I invited everyone over for dinner at the spur of the moment, but only Denise and Tori took me up on the offer for some roast beef.
On Tuesday we just hung out until it was time to take Mom and Rick back to the airport. They were supposed to be on the 5 o'clock flight, but they were not able to get on until the 8 o'clock flight. I'm sure that wasn't a fun wait with the dogs! After I dropped them off I headed over to the Tilley Family party. We met at the church across the street from Cherry Hill for pizza, games, pinatas and a white elephant gift exchange. I took a few bad pictures with my phone, but I can't get them to load here for the life of me!
Now that all of the festivities are over I have spent the last few days relaxing and reading The Hunger Games series which I borrowed from Denise. Hopefully I will have the last one finished before I go back to work on Monday.

Such a slacker... but forgiven! Sounds like a nice christmas vacation for all. We may have to wait for the rest of our lives for Steph to grace us with pictures from that phenomenal camera of hers! One of these days when we can make it back to Utah for a holiday I expect deep fried everything... you guys seem to be pro's at this point!
Thank goodness you had the where-with-all to take a few pictures. My camera never came out of my purse except to take one picture of Ginger wrapped in Rick's t-shirt.
Rick took some pictures with his phone, but they turned out quite fuzzy and faint so I haven't made the effort to try and post them. I am such a loser.
Thanks for posting the pictures Jen. You are the one responsible person in the family. I vote we have you hold the birth certificates and passports.
It looks like you had great holiday. We miss you!
You have no idea what a slacker is until you met me.. I sit on my ass all weekend.. Saturday thru Sunday. Can't even get off my butt to go to church or take the dog for a walk.. I get up at 7AM on Saturday.. boot up my laptop and don't get off the couch until Sunday night at 8PM..
Now that the New Year is here though.. This will change.. taking before pics of my fat ass.. and going to work out at home and get my hot and tight figure skating bod back in shape...
Good luck with that, Jef! I know how hard it is.
