CHRISTMAS



Merry Christmas!

We got to spend Christmas at our home this year!  That was a first for us and we were so excited to be able to have Santa come to OUR house.  We decided to start some of our own traditions and food is always the first thing on my mind!  On Christmas Eve, we had Chicken Tortilla Soup, chips and queso, and made New York Times Chocolate Chip cookies for Santa.

Chicken Tortilla Soup fixings

Matt and Andy and Gary spent a lot of time at Andy’s shop working on Matt’s motorcycle and a pot rack for Gary and Brenda’s house. Macy and Millie got to open Christmas Eve presents, matching Christmas pajamas of course. 

Christmas Eve Jammies

Christmas morning was fun.  We were able to hold Macy off until about 8 AM.  She looked in her bedroom first and saw that Santa had brought her a big girl bed!  A cute twin bed and frame were in the place of her crib-converted-toddler bed.  She was excited about the bed and to this day talks about her bed as something that “Santa gave me”.  She'll say to me when we are in her room "Is this my room? That Santa gave me?"

Santa sampled the cookies!
 
Millie's stash

Macy's stash - Marida Barbie and Rapunzel doll were the highlights.

See the magical little twinkle in her eyes?

She said "Oh my goodness. Marida!"
 


Macy enjoyed some of her stocking stuffers: princess pedicure and lip gloss set.


Hello eyes that melt me.

Cozied up with Grandpa Funderburk


The morning was enjoyable and lazy.  We had eggs in a basket and bacon for breakfast.  Andy’s family, who were staying in a condo nearby, came over.  We made a prime rib for dinner.  That was another first for us and it turned out delicious!  We also had English Trifle, a Bingham family tradition, that has tapioca in it which is a Funderburk family tradition.  Food, food, food.  Yum, yum, yum.  Now, on to the New Year's diet resolution.

Christmas

Christmas was great. I got lots of time off from work so we went to my parent's Christmas Eve and stayed up north for a week!

Christmas Eve at Gigi & Papa's.  Macy got a cow from Uncle Kevo and she loves it

This is about how interested Macy was in opening presents.

Playing with daddy on the other hand, much more interested!

On Christmas Day evening, the whole family (all my siblings) showed up for a big party.  It was fun and chaotic - I wouldn't have it any other way.

There was lots of traveling and Macy was a good sport piggies and all
We went to temple square to see the lights and ate at Red Rock before.

Macy loved her spaghetti
Mylee even ate good!




Later in the week, we went to the Big Bingham Family Christmas Party (all of my dad's siblings, etc.).  We had yummy shrimp cocktail, delicious dinner, a nativity program and a slideshow of every single Christmas card that has been sent from my grandma and grandpa when they first married to their grandchildren today.  It was great.

The groovy party
The party was at my sister Holly's - Andy's awesome railing.
