Christmas Eve~
Lobster, steak, antipasto, bacon wrapped asparagus and Claudia's potatoes au gratin. (awesome!)
The kids made a mess of the living room.
I had a trio hug with Lindsay and my MIL
Cocoa waited for a long time….but did not receive any steak. She did get a lot of hugs though.
Christmas Day~
Lolo got a shark hoodie, which really looks more like cookie monster.

Ozzie did not get a hoodie; he doesn't even know what a hoodie is. He'd love some steak though.
Linds got a longboard. (college transportation)
The girls got weird/cute/weird/cute fuzzy sweaters.
Seriously, they are so weird they are cute.

Cocoa does not approve of the long board.

All in all…our Christmas was more than we could have asked for.
We are a lucky group of people.
After all this goodness…we then celebrated Lindsay's 18th bday.
*sigh*
It's a tough job living the dream….but I'm up for it!
XOXOXO
Beautiful photographs!!

ReplyDeleteCocoa is really just safety conscious and was wanting her to put her helmet on. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd she (and Ozzie!) totally needed a piece of steak!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you had such a great time with the family! The food looks delicious - can't believe you didn't let the doggies have a little steak. ;-) Our dogs got bones as Christmas treats and have literally been throwing them around the house. :-) Hope you have a wonderful new year's eve and an even better new year!

ReplyDeleteChristmas Eve buffet is my favorite meal of the year. Hope all of you have an equally wonderful New Year.

I can not believe you didn't give Ozzie some steak. Sometimes I think someone peed in your wheaties every single day of the year. Seriously.
Give the dog some steak.

What a fantastic, fun Christmas you had!! I love that your girls are so into mugging for the camera...just like my 19 year old is! I watch her making goofy 'selfie' faces on her phone to post on Facebook :) Happy Belated Birthday Wishes to Linds...hope your first lottery ticket is a winner!!
ReplyDeleteSuz, wishing you and your family a joyful, loving, healthy 2014! Many thanks for your blog and sense of humor...I can't take a drink of coffee while reading it, for fear of laugh-snorting it out my nose!
Also, it helps to know another mother out in blogland whose little girl has suddenly grown up so fast!
I know we just had our first grandchild almost 18 months ago - - and our girls are in the third generation of life - - - but when did the term change from skate board to long board?!! You all had great celebrations for the Christmas holidays. So glad everyone was healthy enough to enjoy them!!!
ReplyDeletedinner looks delish! and you let those kids in the living room?!?! you were still trying to get on the nice list, huh?! those sweaters!!! oh my! shoulda put that panda one on MY list xoxo
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time was had by all. Merry Christmas Suz! : ) I'm with Lynda, when did it change from skateboard to long board? #oldpeoplequestions ; )
ReplyDeleteHey, how did I miss this? (Too busy, that's how.) Thanks for the linkeroo! Glad you liked the potatoes. With all that cheese, what's not to like? Happy new year.
