Christmas Part 2

Christmas, the whole fam woke up bright and early (because there are small children who wanted presents - no other reason). We were all tired. We also only gather once in a blue moon, so we are making the most of it by being awake as long as possible. 

Rog gifted Kev/Court some homemade knives & sheathes (complete with giganto bar of soap in case they want to do another soap-carving date). Will come in handy if Kev does end up getting into the hunting game. We got a sweet painting from Zubby, a salt block to cook on from the parentals, and a Wolverine brass knuckles combo from Xandino. I am now wondering if his mission was cooler than mine. 

We went to church and enjoyed Rog's Christmas roast, potatoes, beans, jello, and sweet potato casserole. We also planned our upcoming girl's trip - which had a very limited window with babies and school and work. We found the one weekend that worked - and then found out the Dadzo got us all Celtics tickets in Utah. So we went to our second best weekend. 

Hannah and I got up for an early shoulder workout and scrambled egg breakfast. Roger is getting into the Ranger's Apprentice series and is reading more than I've ever seen. We had some bomb chicken salad sandwiches made by Dad. And we went to Top Golf, his treat. We did try to make it better on his wallet by having 3 people per station go under his 3 pseudonyms - Richard, Richard, and Rich. (You have to pay for new accounts added, and none of us had played). But he vetoed our brilliant idea. (Maybe he didn't want our bad scores?)

Tuesday we took family photos and as you may have heard, were not impressed with the photographer. The photos did end up looking better than I had anticipated. Most of the crew left after that - earlier than planned due to an incoming storm. I did wish that we could've stayed one day longer, now that it wasn't so crowded, but alas. 

We made it back to Prescott no problemo and picked up some Subway on the way home. We missed the storm and I had a full 3 days of work and even a boxing class mid-blizzard. Saturday, we went to an afternoon pie party at Rog's grandma's house and went to bed by 10. Happy New Year.
