the 30th...

... started out like a typical day. Jeff and the kids hit the slopes early, and I lazed around with the pup for a bit. But then I had to get busy! Jeff's parents and his aunt were coming in later that day for our "Christmas" with them! I got dinner started and we all picked up the house.

Soon they arrived and the games began!

Phase 10...
And pool...
After a huge dinner of ham, kielbasa, pierogies and other goodies, it was time for presents...

Then we did birthdays...
Clara commandeered my camera while I was opening presents and took this one of me. This could possibly the first photo of me that I've posted here, if not, it's the first in a really long time. I can't promise that I'll post many more, but I'm going to try to be better about actually being in photos rather than just taking them.

After me, she turned the camera on her brother...
... who was thoroughly engrossed in the parts to his new Skylanders game he got for his xbox.

She took some other ones as well... but I'm not going to push my luck with posting them because I have a feeling that I'm going to be in enough hot water for posting some video of our Just Dance dance-off later! It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission, right? :-)

Finally, after presents, it was time for cake...
... and pie (butterfinger pie... a pinterest find!)

A fun, fun day!

  2. Kirsty... I have it pinned two places... under "treats" and "pins I've tried". It is really, really good (and so simple, which makes it even better!).
