Christmas Break at a Glance

It seems almost a crime to be posting about Christmas in mid-January, right?  Well, bear with me.  I've gotten quite backlogged and haven't even finished blogging about our trip to Ireland.........in October!!

Minced pies from my neighbor.  Very cute, but sorry my English friends.  I am not a fan.


Our tradition of giving the kids pjs on Christmas eve.  Onesies for everyone!


The kids made us homemade gifts for Christmas.  I thought this Christmas tag from Reegan was so cute!


We had a white Christmas in the form of hail!


We spent the morning doing our family thing, then headed over to some colleague's home for a Christmas dinner of Italian food.  It was yummy!  Oh, and played some Chicken Foot!


We introduced our kids to a game of White Elephant!


Then we headed to our house for dessert.  Jerry had been working on a Christmas puzzle, so Robert and Elaine helped us finish it up.


We took a country walk to a local windmill during our break.




I just love finding red phone booths in the country.


Never complete without seeing sheep!


We can't resist the sea, even if it's only a short visit......twice!



Sunset at about 4 o'clock!


Our new year's celebration was not one to go down in history as a great one.  Jerry had a stomach bug.  We all rang in the new year by going to bed before midnight!  We lead such exciting lives, wouldn't you say?!
