Christmas 2022 🎄🎅

 Christmas Eve was spent tubing up at Wood Ranch.  We had a great time and nobody got hurt. Wade is still broken from the Baja 1000. He was strictly forbidden to tube this year. I promise he looked happier in real life.  🎄🎅

 It was perfect, beautiful weather. 

We acted out the nativity!

 I told Mikayla she was not getting a bearded dragon for Christmas. We got one for free from the Beattys a couple of days before Christmas. She could not be more excited. She might love it to death.

Merril's parents are out of town for Christmas so we just spent the day at our house. I didn't really take a picture on Christmas. We spent the morning opening presents with Maxine on a video call at 6 a.m. She said it was a way better Christmas than last year. 

 The day after Christmas, I went for a nice walk/run up Beetlejuice trail behind our house. The Christmas season has been wonderful but the last few days have been really busy and I haven't had a chance to get out for some exercise. I guess tubing is exercise but it felt really great to get out on a dedicated trail.  

Then, we went to my mom's house because that's when everybody could get together. I  ordered a yard sign for my mom's birthday.  We played games and ate brunch and opened presents.

My mom made the most incredible Christmas quilts for the girls this year. I can't believe how long it must have taken her! 

Juliet got a pottery wheel from Nicole and was able to throw a pot on it. 

Lovely, wonderful, peaceful, happy feelings. I can't wait for 2023!
