Christmas Week!

This past Christmas week was so fun and magical, especially having a child to enjoy the special day with.

 Tuesday the 23rd Carson went to his buddy Emmett's 5th birthday. It was a police officer themed birthday and Carson is still talking about catching the bad guy, putting him in jail and finding the gold he hid!! He had so much fun and the food was so yummy! We sure love our good friends the Curry's, Casper definitely wouldn't be the same without them.

The gold!

Happy Birthday Emmett!

Wednesday--Christmas Eve, we went to work with daddy for a little bit, and did some last minute shopping and preparations for Christmas. We had the yummiest dinner---Philly Cheesesteaks! We ended the night with Home Alone, Holiday Switch, singing Christmas carols and reading about Christ's birth.

Christmas Eve---Just the three of us

Christmas morning we woke up to this.....

Yes!! I got my White Christmas!! It snowed all day and into the night on Christmas! I was soooo happpy!!
 After opening stockings we had strawberry and raspberry crepes with orange juice and bacon for breakfast!

Then it was present time!!! This is one of my favorite presents from Keith. He also got me a sapphire ring, perfume, slippers, toasty gloves, amazon gift card, a new wallet, and two movies. 

Keith's brother and sis-in-law got us the picture of Christ. I am so excited to hang these two together!!

Carson's "big" present! A marble run!

Carson's loot---Crazy Sand, Marble Run, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, a Fishing Pole, and Lego Movie. (Lots of games for this boy, he loves games!!)

I got this picture text from Misti on Christmas---"Mom's new ride." My parents are just the cutest! 

Playin' all of Carson's new games!

After opening presents we got ready and headed to a sweet hill in Casper with some friends from our ward and went sledding!!

 Keith was unfortunately on call this week and had an emergency at a site so we had fun driving in a blizzard for six hours to go to the site and back (normally three hours), so we didn't get to have our Christmas dinner that night, but it was still fun taking a trip together in the snow. Oh I just love snow on Christmas!!! So we had our dinner Friday night (last night) and had the Currys over.

This is what my car looked like Christmas night. YES!!!!

Today (Saturday the 27th), we all went out as a family for an early anniversary celebration to  breakfast at our FAVORITE place here in Casper, only the best---Eggingtons.

Love these two of mine.

Pecan french toast---I literally died and went to heaven!! SOOOO good!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year!!
