Let's just face it...Christmas is so much more fun with kids!
It's hard to even decorate for just two people, but I do it anyway because it's the memories that these decorations hold that help to remind me of those I love...
I still hang all 10 stockings up...
Even the "Bishop" was a good sport & wore his own festive sweater - the girls loved it!
We hosted a dinner party for the Bishopric & made treats for the "Home Alones" in our ward - hurray for Pinterest...
Mid-December, Kiff flew me out to Washington to babysit while he surprised Jill with a weekend get away. She was both anxious & excited because he planned the whole thing without her help! He did a great job - more on that in the next post - doesn't she look so happy as they were headed out the door?
We held the office Christmas party at Maggiano's again this year...

Mom & Dad joined us this year & the party fell on their 63rd wedding anniversary. We couldn't let the moment pass without honoring them! Mom looks so beautiful!
When trying to take a picture of the two of them, someone said, "act like you like each other" & Mom turned to Dad & planted a big kiss on him! I don't think I've ever seen them kiss - it was pretty funny...
We spent Christmas Eve all by ourselves - it seemed extra lonely with Kyle & family away in Brazil. We went to the movies & came home to our empty house but I made Paul take a picture with me...
Christmas morning we headed over to see da boyz...
Paul made Christmas omelets...

Ethan showed us how his new resistance training parachute worked...
And we made kabobs...so delicious!
And that's a wrap! Christmas 2013 was over just like that!
