As most of you know I love Christmas, I love decorating for the holiday, love family, giving, baking, entertaining, and watching the excitement on the little faces. November and December have been an exhausting month with company flying in, grand babies, work, cleaning, planning for multiple things, shopping, Xmas, it goes on and on. Sometimes I ask myself how do I survive. Here are some pics from our loving home during the holidays...maybe these pics will show how the hard work paid off.
I wish I wasn't so extra :/ like our kids say.

The warmth from the oven and the smell of the sweet treats put them to sleep.
We host CHRISTMAS EVE for our family. Here are some appetizers and the rest are in the kitchen. We have a soda bar, along with a cocktail bar. I accidentally went overboard on Xmas candy so its displayed all over the house :( We play some games....Dirty Santa but with dice so the gifts get passed around like the game LRC....it was a blast!!!

Brian and I also buy items throughout the year to put in a Saran Wrap ball for a game.
There is all kinds of stuff in it from the middle being $50 to amazon, to multiple other gift cards, flashlights, batteries, ear buds, tweezers, candy, ibuprofen, socks, jewelry, extension cords, razors, movie tickets, travel size liquor, towels, kitchen utensils, office stuff, bandaids, etc.....This is our second year doing it and everyone looks forward to it.
The Saran Wrap ball game. We also made a small one for the younger relatives.
This is the Saran Wrap ball game going on. The person sitting down is trying to roll doubles and as soon as he does Dorian has to pass him the ball...until then he will keep unrolling to retrieve as many gifts as he can. Its a super fast game.
