christmas eve. late.


christmas eve. yes, it's january and i'm just now posting these pictures. in fact, when i loaded my camera, it says this roll is from 2011. so i must have not even loaded our christmas pictures until after january 1st. wow. can you say 'behind'?

well - it's just been that kind of day. or week. or month... or whatever. we've had a complicated time getting into a routine after the holidays. we haven't really had the chance or needed to get into a routine with all of the different events surrounding the holidays... so in many ways i feel like we're starting all over.

but i digress... that's not what this post is about.

christmas eve.

was wonderful. it started out a bit chaotic, finishing PW's cinnamon rolls and starting a quiche/savory cheesecake/fritta thing for jeff's christmas morning breakfast and a broken water heater.

oh yeah. that.

do you remember christmas eve? it was POURING DOWN RAIN almost all day.

which is perfect christmas eve weather. when you're staying inside... and not waiting on a plumber to come & fix your water heater.... before you need to go to church.

he never got to our house. and our water heated back up. eventually. and it's working now. but we need to replace it. we thought we might have to take all of our christmas presents back & by a new water heater... but thankfully it all worked out.

ah. i digress, yet again.

we eventually got to church. brady has yet to learn how to whisper on a consistent basis. he wasn't 'bad', just kind of 'loud'. BUT - it's expected. it's christmas eve and there is NO nursery for any kid over the age of 2. so oh well. {charlotte was a little angel though!}

and after church, we went over to mimi & papa's for dinner & gifts. what fun?! we loved getting to spend some time over there, and of course we were spoiled. jeff got some new 'dress boots' & i got a much-needed & unexpected knife block! i was so excited! it was such a thoughtful gift that gets used EVERY SINGLE DAY!! woo-hoo!!!
