Just some of the random Christmas fun at my mom’s❣️

Round two, dinner and stockings!

More of the kids could make it for the second half of the day. Chris, John, Andy and some of the +1's joined in for a great ham dinner and of course the traditional unstuffing of the stockings my mom assembles so lovingly!

The round one crew.

Maybe a little rounder after the meal too! It's always great to catch up at and thoroughly enjoy our family gatherings❣️

My mom has some really cute and pretty ornaments.

I like this lighthouse one by the ball reflecting the tree lights!

Christmas, round one, at my mom’s

Everybody chipped in for a nice lunch buffet. Some of the group could only be there early in the day, and some later so we elected an open house style event. We all came and went as we could, some of us more than once❤️

“Sir, this might hurt a little bit!”

An actual quote from a procedure, where Ian used his cheap multitool pliers from his backpack to extract a nail from a hand in the ER. Nobody else had pliers or would step up and try it.

So I decided he needed a nice pair for the next time. Congrats on getting your Masters degree, passing your certs, and all you've accomplished! Praying for the right opportunity for the next part of your life journey with Caroline.

Julie got me this adorable toy gun for Christmas!

It's a tiny replica Sig P320. You can load the magazine, cycle rounds, pull the trigger, and use the slide lock. Fun to put together and play with! ;)

Cool bag fabric and color

We have a program at work where you can recognize your co-workers for various things. I helped on-board one of my peer managers in our product support team and he sent me some CogBucks $$$ to use in the company store. They had a duffel bag made out of this material so I snagged one. It's great for just throwing in whatever I want to bring along.

Cravy’s cool candle centerpiece on her table

It makes her candles last sooooo much longer she says.

All the boys enjoying puzzles

Cody and Jet are into the kind of puzzles where you try and figure out how to take them apart. Like nails bent together with rings, etc. It was fun to see them all trying to figure them out while we were at Cravy's house on Christmas Eve.
