We had a nice, slow Christmas this year and just stayed in Greeley. Even so, it was more stressful than usual with my mom having a hard time adjusting to life without my dad (the holidays are the worst) and all of us trying to help my brother along in his process of moving out and growing up. I really have been missing my dad a lot too even though he visits me in my dreams almost nightly. On Christmas, we were looking through our posts from last year and it’s hard to believe that he was doing so well less than a year ago.

Anyhow, this year Britton and I had two meals again. One at his family’s house and the other at my mom’s. We were hammed out! 🙂

We made a snack/cookies/tea/cocoa basket for everyone and had fun baking up the cookies together. And even though Christmas day was actually quite a nice dry one weather wise (in the 60s or so) we now have a white blanket on the ground just in time for the New Year.

Here are a few photos from the day. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas holiday.
