1st christmas...

I enjoyed this holiday season....In the previous years  when we were a little short on money it was a stressful and slightly depressing time of the year, but this year was different..we didn't go too crazy with the gifts

  but we had enough so that everyone got what they wished for ...

Also this was Sequoia's 1st Christmas! Just that alone makes this one the Best holiday to date!

Its becoming a tradition that we go to Alison's house for an amazing Christmas Eve feast every year, it was no different this yea...this is a photo of Sequoia and me from that evening...

It was a very fun evening! we had the most delicious glazed Ham...eggnog with a good amount of rum in it...who doesn't like that!?

and then we finished with playing Pictionary with Cheristy and Jamison...that was Hilarious!!

Christmas morning was awesome...I woke up...made coffee w Baily's  of course! started breakfast, then Jeff woke up so we opened our gifts!

It was a 1st for sequoia and

as you can tell from one photo when we 1st gave her the gift she was kinda like:
 "I don't know what you want me to do with this" ...But she figured it out quick...she Loved all the wrapping paper! She got a nice dress from Gramma & Grampa Lee....A spinning toy from us...and another little Monster ...named Zelda...shes got Benny already!

We went to Howard and Teresa's that afternoon for a yummy turkey dinner and good company...Always fun!

jeff was off from work for 2 weeks so it was nice just hanging out...we went ice skating with big Sissy few times...I made a lot of cookies...it was just relaxing and nice time :)
