We celebrated our second Christmas with my parents, brother, and Grandma on New Years day this weekend. I sat next to my dad while we all opened gifts and I decorated him as we went along. My parents and Grandma of course spoiled us with gifts, however my favorite was a recipe book my mom put together for me. It's compiled of her favorite recipes and some of our favorites growing up. She spent the past year writing them all in by hand and I love it.We played games, went for walks, and ate a lot of food. The kids worked on crafts, building lego ships, had nerf shoot offs and played with their cousin Makenna.
We also spent quite a bit of time watching the interactions between Myah and Chubby the squirrel. Chubs lives in my parents back yard and feasts regularly on grains set out by my mom.
Chubby thought it was great fun to tease the dog and kept it's eye out closely for her.
Despite her sneaky nature.........
the squirrel would escape before she could reach chub at it's plate of grub, each and every time. Glad to see Chubs survived 2009!

Love it, love you, Tob & kids. I'm glad you liked the recipe book. It was made with alot of love. Love, love, love. Mom
Just catching up. I've had a hard time staying on top of the blogging world. Sounds like you had a great Christmas. (Hope Lex's ankle is better.) I love the recipe book - I've been thinking of something like that for Brittany's graduation. (Don't tell her.) I don't know if I could hand write it though.
Good times!
