On Friday evening we had our annual Christmas party at my folks' house with my siblings and nieces and nephews. We were late. My dip wasn't baked, I felt like I was forgetting something and I just couldn't get it together. That said, in spite of me, it was fun.
I stole some pictures from my sister because I could not get my camera set properly.
Alex was the BiG left right center winner this year! Of course, his Dad is suddenly very close to him.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Sam and Max built a fire for Grandma in the afternoon.
This was the epic fail of the evening... No surprise here, it involved yours truly. I had my brother's name, I presented his gift. If you have someones name you present their present. I uhmmm, I gave him the wrong gift. I snatched it back, apologized profusely, and promised to bring him his gift on Christmas Day. It was a stocking stuffer for one of my guys. I had some gifts wrapped at a local store and evidently I got them confused...
Not a good picture of me, not a good moment for me.
Christmas Fail.
Everyone else was quite sane and had a nice party.
The grand kids and all of the friends they bring to my folks for Sunday dinner got together and gave them a special card with a substantial Costco gift card. They were really touched.
Saturday was a blur of funerals for Hubby and me.
In the evening Vern and Shelly, Mark and Karen and Braden came over for PumPkin caRVING pARTY only it was Christmas and we didn't carve pumpkins. Shelly, Karen and I made the guys' favorite appetizers and then we grilled them. No. Not the appetizers. The guys. We want to know how the army and college is going for them so they get grilled.
I have no pictures of that event, it was a lot of fun and the food was crazy good!
Tonight we watched the Seattle Seahawks WIN again and WIN BiG! I just love winning and hanging out with our guys.
Super casual snacks and treats tonight.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, I have Creme Brulee in the oven, my menu planned, chicken thawing and am going to try to stay ahead of the game. So far, I haven't done very well this year...
Hubby just asked, why I was thawing pork chops? Sheesh. Get out the stinkin' chicken and let's try this again.

It was that Dykstra dinner...it wore you out! ;)
I think my epic fail is going to be something with food...wish I could figure out what I'm forgetting. Oh well, I'm sure my boys will let me know...
Hope you feel on top of it for the rest of your celebrations! Merry Christmas!
