Christmas 2020, Part I

We went sure how he was going to act with the tree. But he left it alone for the most part...all except for the two specific ball ornaments.  


Our elf, Rikki, shows up every year in the wee hours of December 1st. She brings with her an advent calendar every year to help the kiddos countdown 'till the big day!


He was NOT happy about being made to sit still with his dad for a minute.  He was ready to roll!

Then he figured out there was chocolate involved, and it all became ok!

We had a few close friends over for a little cocktail party a few weekends prior to Christmas.  Everyone brought a xmas themed app and cocktail to share.  I only got these photos- but one of the apps we made was an antipasto wreath.  My lover was helping me thread the goods!


I've been listening to Christmas music on and off since mid-October (smh) The closer we get to Christmas, the more sick of it I get.  So a few days before xmas,  it was time to switch it up a bit.

While this may look like a commercial for Winco, its truly just the beginning of the goodie trays.  Lots of stuff!

B Bop helping to decorate sugar cookies

one of the goodie trays


I also made some people cannolis

He would NOT leave these two balls alone!

The first go of the xmas lights.  He added more around the windows and stuff, but i never got pics of that

This dog is so weird.  She LOVES the cold.  It was like 10 degrees outside and she wanted to lay by an open door

Rachel made an ornament for the tree.....look closely at it....Im thinking the quarantine has gotten to that girl's head!! ;P

A little 'thing' Louis made for rachel using the 3D printer


We went out to Caldwell to have dinner at the Indian Creek Steakhouse and look at the lights in the Indian Creek Plaza. Didnt get any pics of the lights, but dinner was pretty good.  It was canyon county so there was no mask mandate and not a mask was to be seen.  We still wore ours, but it was like a whole different world over there- Covid does not exist in 2C apparently


He loves sauces. He is licking cocktail sauce off Louis' napkin...little gross kid!
