Christmas Time is Here!

Christmas break is here and we made cookies.

Then we headed to Bost so Canyon can get goodies.

We set out treats for the delivery people and made a gift sack of treats for the mail lady.

I cooked the turkey early because we also had a ham to cook and I didn't want to spend more hours than necessary in the kitchen during our Christmas. It's been a dozen or more years since I cooked a turkey, but it looks like it came out ok.

Canyon and I went to see Christmas lights in other neighborhoods. We also stopped at Santa's shop and sleigh.

We had to wait until the day after Christmas for our Christmas because Jared had to work Christmas day.

Neither Liam nor Canyon knew the difference so it was all good.

They set out treats and headed to bed to see what Santa would bring.

 

After gifts, it was our traditional cinnamon rolls and fruit for breakfast.

A few Christmas morning pj photos, (except Canyon who doesn't come out of his room without regular clothes on). At least he remembered to put on his Grinch shirt.

Liam got his first baby food this morning.  Sweet potatoes for the win.  He only took a few bites but seemed to enjoy them.

Then he got cleaned up and went to have cousin pictures taken with Hudson, Nora, and Asher.

They look so cute!

Later that night, Liam got more sweet potatoes and did even better.

And that's a wrap!

Christmas Cheer at Work

 Reindeer Cheer Squad.

I wasn't a part of the squad.  I was just in the hall when they took the picture and they told me to jump in.

I missed Monday, stuck in Bentonville in the snow.

 

     Tuesday - antlers or hat          Wednesday - plaid or flannel

       

Thursday - warmth wear        Friday - pajamas

And that's a wrap to 2020 pandemic school. 

Snow Day!

 We went up to Bentonville again even though we weren't supposed to this weekend.  Last weekend we went and accidently left Canyon's cpap so we had to go back to get it.  I knew they were expecting snow but not much.

The dogs enjoyed it except for Malaki.

I don't know why the fence looks like this with Jupiter, but how cool!  It's really just a plain brown fence.

It turned out to be more than we thought so we were stuck there for another night.  Canyon and I missed Monday at day center/work.

Liam's 1st snow day!! 

We kept him pretty toasty.

He didn't cry until Jared made him touch it. 

Santa Shoot

 

Sahara set up a photo shoot with the big guy, Santa himself!  

Lights in NWA

 My school's secretary crocheted this tree hat for Liam.  

So cute!!

We went to the Bentonville Square for the lights.  It's so pretty there.  Crowded but we didn't bother with the hot cocoa line and just tried to stay away from people in general.

Then we went to the Bentonville Heart Lights.  Great as always.  The car line was at least an hour long but you can park behind the house and walk to it very easily so we did that since it wasn't freezing.

Here is the link for the video. I can't figure out how to get the actual video on the blog if it's longer than 10 seconds. The video below was of a very calm and 'blue' song.  I couldn't really hear the music from the cars to know what was playing.  I should have waited for something more upbeat for better colors.
