Family Time...

On December 29th Scott made some Mexican pork and Spanish rice.  It was so good everyone loved it.  It was so fun to have Rosie and Reid's families here.  After we had dinner we had so much fun playing 'Left,, Right, Center.'  I love spending time with my family.

Blake was the winner!!!

We missed Cole and Kacie so we had to send her a little birthday Snapchat.

Brady had fun playing his new Disney game with everyone.

Birthday Shopping & Lunch Plus More Coyotes...

On December 27th Mom, Brady, and I took Kacie shopping for her birthday at the mall in Boise.  We got a few things at Bath and Bodyworks and then she found some jeans at American Eagle that she liked.  Mom also found some fun prizes for when we play Bunco at the Double V reunion.  We then had lunch at Zupas and Brady got a pizza at Modpizza.  

We were happy that Cole was able to have a fun day of coyote hunting with Ron and Scott.

On December 28th Cole and Kacie decided to go home so Scott, Brady, and I followed them to Nampa.  Scott wanted to show Cole the Idaho Gun Store before we went to Jalapenos for lunch for Kacie's birthday.  We had a good time and some yummy food.  We gave Kacie her birthday presents which were a pair of earrings and a necklace.  It is never fun saying goodbye, but we had a wonderful week with them.

 

Talbot Christmas Party...

We had our standard yummy standing rib roast with Yorkshire pudding.  

All the food was so good.  Then we played our fun white elephant gift exchange.

Bluey was the entertainment for the little ones while we played.  They are so dang cute!

Trying to get a good picture with this bunch was not easy in fact I'm not sure we ever got one.

It's always so fun when we get together but it is kind of nice when it's quiet again.

Christmas 2023...

Scott and I went to pick up Brandon on Christmas Eve.  We were so relieved he was so happy.  After we got home we had a little Christmas Eve dinner with Mom and Dad.  It was a nice evening.

        

It was a little different having all adult children now for Christmas morning.  

We were so happy that Brandon slept through the night.

We had a wonderful Christmas dinner at Mom and Dad's house with Grandma and Jim.  After we played 

'Right, Left, Center' with dollar bills.  I won the jackpot the first time then Cole won it the second time and shared some of his winning with me.  It was so fun!  Then after Grandma and Jim left we played Brady's new Disney game that Cole and Kacie gave him.  That was fun too! You try to get ten Disney movies in chronological order.  They also gave Brady a really cute Disney history book.  They gave me a cool puzzle board, and a super cute Disney puzzle plus some comfy PJs.  We got Cole and Kacie a Blackstone grill and found out Cole's parents also got them one.  haha!  

It was such a nice day!  I loved every minute of it!  Brandon slept another night which was so nice.  Mom and Dad were a lifesaver and took Brandon home for us so we could get ready for the Talbot Christmas party on the 26th.  Mom got these cute pictures with him.
