Christmas

This is a slight recap of our family's Christmas. :)

It started around 8am.. with a bunch of excited little siblings running around. We opened gifts than ate cinnamon rolls and eggs for "brunch."

That night we had three older people over for dinner, and we had a great time talking and laughing! The best line of the night came from Mr. Tom. My Dad was describing a conversation he had with someone: about how Dad did all the talking and the other man answered "yes." or "no." (literally!)
Mr. Tom remarked in the coolest tone of voice "Astonishing vocabulary." :)

When the kids had gone to bed, Dad, Daniel and I 'snuck' out and went to the movie theatre. We saw the newly released film "Unbroken." Wow! It was amazing! And super intense and uncomfortable. It was really well done though.

Here are some pictures of our tree:

These glass ones are my favorite! The one just above was my parents cake topper.

This is an ornament I made.

Ice

The intricacy and beauty of ice never ceases to amaze me!

 

The first few were right after everything iced over

 

These next ones were taken a few days later, right before sunset.
