Christmas with the Boldts

Jeff and I decided that we would have our Christmas on Christmas Eve because we were having an early breakfast with our friends...9am HAHA. Here are some pics from our Christmas together.

I'm so excited about all the presents we get to open!!

Again, you have no idea how ready I was :)

Jeff opened his stocking and found some of his favorite chips in it :)

So last year, all we could find for stockings were these ones with bear heads attached to them. I love them, but Jeff is a little less into them...

Look at all the loot we got!! My parents sent us four big boxes for Christmas, wrapped and everything. It was awesome!! And yes, there is Taco Bell sauce all over the floor. All I asked Daddy for was a ton of mild sauce from Taco Bell, and boy did I get a ton of it!! We also got quite a bit of velveeta, it makes the best queso in the world!! I also got a pair of NEW black Uggs, Jeff was SUPER excited about me getting those, he despises Uggs. Jeff got a bunch of books, a puzzle, Balderdash, History calendar, day planner, and some candies and such.

Christmas with Chicago Coffee

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas dinner at Chris and Liz's coffee shop. There were about 20 of us there and it was so much fun!

Before eating could commence, Chris introduced all of the dishes for us so we knew what we were eating. He was a very good Vanna White
Smiling for the plethora of camera flashes
Oh the yummy, yummy food

After dinner, we made sugar cookie cutouts and frosted them.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

It's Christmas Time!!

So we've been doing quite a lot to prepare for Christmas time, we've had a bake day, parties, and lots of decorating. The bake day pictures are on Danielle's blog, we made thin mints, candy cane cookies, key lime meltaways, peanut butter blossoms, snickerdoodles, peppermint bark, peanut butter fudge, white chocolate-cranberry-oatmeal cookies, and coconut fudge bars. All in all, I've packed in a few pounds this holiday season :)
Jeff and I hosted a Christmas party for some of our students at Web. We decorated gingerbread cookies and made a gingerbread house. Then we made some popcorn and cocoa and watched "Elf." I think they enjoyed it :)

Phoebe decorated her gingerbread man with a HUGE nose
Hmmm...a gumdrop here? Or a gumdrop there?
Pretty pretty house
Chea zi!!

Here is our little Christmas corner in our house :) We have a tree with TONS of presents under it-thanks mommy and daddy vert- two stockings, and a gingerbread house. We are so blessed this season!
