Christmas 2025

I figured I needed to get a move on if I was going to get the Christmas post up before February. 

We went to Christmas Eve service at church - Jim looks formal on top, but has athletic shorts on bottom. 

And then we went out to eat Chinese food afterwards (this was a first for us) - it was so noisy and crowded! Kind of fun to see everyone wearing their Christmas garb at the restaurant, though. 

Here we are, with the front room all set for the big day - I think this was our best tree ever! 

Here were Leah & Jim’s Christmas lists this year. 

Stockings: 

Spark wanted to be with us but not really. He got a present, too! 

Jim got some bongos & Leah's opening a gallon of wall paint: 

Amelie got a dragon wall mural (more to come on that one, I hope!) 

Sam made us cinnamon rolls & bacon: 

I hung the stockings back up on the mantle where they go.

Leah got a gemstone kit, where she had to sift to find the rocks. 

And also a bath bomb painting kit from my friend Cabell's shop. 

I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it, but they were all 3 using the 3-D printing pen - both the new one from Nana Jana to Leah this year & the one we got Jim 2 years ago - for several days to make all kinds of weird 3-D printed stuff. 

Here is the link to Christmas last year!
