celebrating Christmas Eve at my parents' new house!

And the are officially South Carolina residents now:)


We enjoyed a golf cart ride and a hike on their beautiful woodland trails!


believe it or not, contrary to what the puddles may suggest, it really wasn't raining.  They are sporting the umbrellas as a fashion statement.  Speaking of fashion, the girls accused grandma of wearing  an ugly Christmas sweater.  Grandma stopped about four people on the trail to see if they agreed that her sweater was indeed an ugly Christmas sweater.  The first three happened to be men...who immediately said no, and that the sweater is quite lovely (ok, that's not really what they said:)  However, I pointed out to my mom that they are men....most likely married men who are quite conditioned to NEVER respond in the negative response to a woman questioning of something is pretty, or makes her look fat;)   And then my mom's fourth person was a woman....she immediately responded that it is an ugly sweater....but these days an "ugly sweater" actually means a pretty sweater.

And Grandma Judy won:)

and of course no Christmas is complete without puppy pictures

lots and lots of puppy pictures:)

ok, we let the girls be in some:)




the star on their tree is going, per my parents.  (I agree with their decision;)

it's a challenge to get two kids and two fur kids to cooperate at the same time:)   Thus the unfocused photo:)





That night we came home and the girls and J baked up a yummy batch of Grandma Jeanne's infamous cutout cookies.
 
and I've had WAY more than my fair share....ughhhhh



Merry Christmas to All, and to All a GOOD night!
