I promised one of my sisters that I would put up all of the pictures from our family get together so that she could have easy access to them and can hopefully print some off herself. I also decided to put up the Blackwood side of our Christmas for those Blackwoods who are in Australia. So, to break things up a bit, I'm posting them on different posts in chronological order. First Z's side, and then my side. Enjoy the pictures! And, for those of you who don't care to look a hundred and two pictures, you can go ahead and move on with your website checklist for the day. :) Have a lovely day!
This is what our "Christmas tree" originally looked like when we set it up...
But, this happened...
So, I chopped the top off and stuck it in the dirt (It's February now and still living strong...at the time I didn't know if I could do it to this sort of plant)...
This is the little reindeer who helped set up the Christmas decor...
Our "mistletoe," which I thought was perfectly charming...
F was fit to bust because these people came to our house:
And then, Uncle Garrett played the pickle song for us.
She really did love the music...
And, then, Grandpa and Grandma gave Felicity presents which she happily uses now, even if she wasn't too happy when she received them...
This was our own family Christmas on Christmas morning...
Yup, the same stickers she saw the day she got her shots. :)
This was part of Z's stocking stuffer...
Don't worry, if I do it to my daughter (repurpose stickers for gifts), I do it to myself...I was thrilled to get these in the mail, but waited for it in anticipation by stuffing it my stocking for a couple weeks. :)
Z guessing what one of his presents was...
This is the scarf and white tooth that Z got me. :)
F was sticking her tongue out constantly that week...just like Grandpa F. does :)
After lunch on Christmas Day, playing Scrabble...
Felicity loved the company but was oh-so-tired...
And, MORE visitors! Hooray! This is while we were having our "Australia Christmas" via Skype...
Christmas Dinner...
Going to see the lights on Christmas night...
Playing Settlers... I forget who won though...
Charity trying to get Garrett to trade with her...
No offense to him, but Allen takes a while to decide things...
The board...
My assets...
Notice the campfire scene I made with my pieces...
The next day it snowed! We brought some inside to show Felicity...
But, she decided it better stay outside...
So, we all went outside with it! And, after our short-lived game of Ultimate Frisbee in a nearby field, we took a few pictures...
I rather like this picture of the whole gang...
Everybody is leaving! :(
But, Garrett and Charity treated us to Bob's first... :)
One of my favorite things at Bob's...Hot Chocolate. :)
I think Felicity rather enjoyed her first taste of Bob's food...especially the potatoes from Mommy and Daddy's plates. :)
I kept trying to decide what this guy in the background was working on/for, but I never came up with any solid conclusions...
THE END!
