Our first Christmas stop this year was with my Grandpa & Grandma Malikie. Although it was short, we had a wonderful time catching up. Grandma made some delectable cinnamon rolls - which we devoured. We also had to have some of her famous Christmas cookies!!! YUM!
- Feliz Navidad Numero Dos -
We spent Christmas Eve with the Bowler family. We met for our traditional Steak & Crab feast complete with Pretzel Jello (Thanks Jeanie!!!).
Mama looked radiant in red!
Tyrell was dashingly handsome relaxing with a beverage.
After stuffing ourselves to the brim, we wandered across town for a Christmas Eve Service. We sang Christmas Carols & heard the Christmas Story for the first service, then took our posts at the coffee cart for the second service.
Kaylee & Kurt took orders; Papa & Cody did flavors; Mama, Jeanie, Mike & Vicky worked their magic behind the coffee machines; and Tyrell, Grandma and I mixed hot coco's and made fruity drinks.
We then made our way back to the mansion for mud pie and family time.
This year, we had a secret Santa exchange - which brought out lots of laughs.
As is tradition, everyone found their cozy bed in the mansion for Christmas Eve.
All except for Cody that is. He chose to sleep in a mummy bag out on the top deck... in 9 degree temperatures! CRAZY!
Santa came down the chimney & filled our stockings... and then we all enjoyed a delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict & Hash Browns.
- Merry Christmas Number Three -
Christmas Day we drove up to Kalispell. We had dinner up at Grandpa George's. Tyrell's Mom made a feast! Turkey, Ham, stuffing, 2 kinds of gravy, baked pineapple, mashed potatoes, yams, jello salads, and so much more! It was all ready and on the table when we drove up! WOW!
We came home & exchanged gifts - which was so much fun.
Micah, Kaileb & Tyrell wrapped up the evening building the perfect car online.
