Christmas Day.

4wheel reading gifts turkey rocks withgrands hike

Since most places were closed on Christmas Day and we needed something to do with 9 children, we went to Turkey Mountain for a hike.

I took some of them on a “short cut” which probably was not shorter by the time I was done.

I think I should stay away from the upper trails there and stick to what I know.

I then proceeded to go to the theater with my sister in-law on Christmas day.

Just us.

I enjoyed it, although I was left with more questions then answers…

I did question my choice of a crowded theater for my first alone time in a while…

This Christmas was so different then previous ones.

It still had the important things though, family and being outside.

Christmas 2014

I am back!

We ended up squeezzing together our Christmas travels with a vacation!

We took our time heading up to my parents house in Indiana, camping and hiking along the way.

Then we went to the Smoky Mts. after Christmas!

It was gorgeous!

I have a ton of pictures to go through and edit but I thought I would share a look into what our Christmas Day was like.

Graham Cracker Houses ~Christmas Moments

pullout

I am still trying to capture Christmas Moments but I am northern girl and this Okie weather is messing with me.

I know some people love having warmer weather in December and hate being cold but I like snow.

I remember when I was little, we moved to a new house.

I must have already been upset about leaving friends and stuff but when it did not snow that Christmas I hated the new house.

I thought it must be snowing at our old house(a good hour west of the new one)…

My cat ran away, my friend was far away, and now no snow!

Ha!

icing

I will try to pretend like it is snowing outside for my boys sake though.

This icing was like paste.

All over my hands.

They were really excited when he got home…

They have improved quite a bit from the last time we made these!
