Christmas at the Bluff...

We were lucky enough to host for our first Christmas here on the Bluff (thanks to baby Henry's arrival that is about to take place, by the way!). We had Ryker, Hilary and her family for the week and then my parents, Alli's family, and my cousin Avery's family for the Christmas festivities. It was a week full of fun, relaxing, and a wonderful time. I LOVED it. Yes, it was a full house, but I loved every minute of it. The pictures I have are not the best quality, but they are definitely fun memories for me. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, too!

First, we spent a few days just lazing around, enjoying the snow, and making some yummy treats:







We also got to put Uncle Ryker's cool new projector to use. It allows you to watch a show wherever you may choose, like on the ceiling for example:


Then, on Christmas Eve we continued our tradition of acting out a live Nativity. The kiddos are finally getting old enough to understand it and get into it, which is SOOOOO much fun. I don't have pictures of all of the characters because I was behind the curtain for the actual production, but I did snap a couple after the performance of the angel and Mary:




Later that evening, we opened our presents:


And then spent a lot of time on Christmas day enjoying them:













And finally, to top off the day, the men made the feast....which was delicious! Nice work fellas!







And I also want to mention that we were blessed by the presence of these wonderful people for Christmas dinner (sorry it's so blurry, the lighting was not the best). Craig, Sharon, and Kylene, we loved having you here. Thanks for coming!


P.S. I think baby Henry is going to make his arrival some time tonight! Go Alli, go! Can't wait to meet the little guy! HOORAY!!!
