I LOVED this Christmas Holiday! Could we please do it again! All my kids and grandkids were home and we had the BEST time! We ate tons of food, played lots of games (new favorite is Balderdash), shopped, worked (Steve took David to work a few days), Basketball, dartgun fights, movies and just really enjoyed each other.
 |
| Grace waited for Lauren to make the gingerbread house because Lauren LOVES to do everything that is associated with the Holidays! |
 |
| They wanted to help David feel at home so they dedicated the gingerbread house in his honor. GOOF BALLS! |
 |
| Addison and Weston love playing the piano |
 |
| Addison loves to help Grandma do EVERYTHING! |
 |
| Jackie with the help of Grace made us a 7 course Italian dinner for Christmas - they had to start a few days ahead making all the preparations |
 |
| Home made pasta! YUM I don't have pictures of the dinner but it was DELICIOUS! |
 |
| Annual Christmas Eve Movie goers! Movies this year were Chipmunks and Sherlock |
 |
| Christmas Eve at the Mosmans was again Fabulous! I love the punch but this year Kim also made Cotton Candy ...... I think my new favorite! |
 |
| Yep - they are still very much in love and goofy! And WE LOVED having them home! |
 |
| Christmas Eve Jammies! Some of our Christmas Eve traditions are to write down in card what our present to Jesus will be for the year and put it on the tree. We use the same card and add the year and what you will give. It is always fun to look at back at what you have given in years past. We also read the Christmas Story out of the Scriptures. This year Instead of reading out of the Scriptures, Steve had each of us take part of the Nativity and see what we could learn about each person and share it. It was really insightful to hear all that everyone had learned. |
 |
| Lauren can not miss out on family traditions, so since David is such a good sport, they slept with the other kids on Christmas eve! |
 |
| The Cute Schwartz family on Christmas morning! |
 |
| David and Lauren gave Grace a GIANT bear. Addison and Grace love to snuggle on that ENORMOUS animal! |
 |
| BEST part of Christmas! |
 |
| New Years Eve we had a Just Dance Tournament but I can't remember who the winner was because there was a little bit of controversy and I don't think our bracket was very good, HAHAHA |
 |
| I barely made it to the gym because I just wanted to stay home every morning and love these little cuties! |
 |
| Had to document the many early morning basketball practices both Sav and Derek had during the holiday! |
 |
| and last but not least DEREK GOT HIS BRACES OFF! YAH!! He was so happy he even let me take a picture! |
