Christmas



The family came over to our house Christmas Day and everyone had so much fun. We were exhausted when it was over, but it was all worth it! The games we played this year were Apples to Apples and Catch Phrase. We were up way past midnight playing. Hilariously funny games, we will definitely play them again next year.

CHRISTMAS TREE

This year we invited our family and friends to go with us to Apple Hill (Placerville ;near Lake Tahoe) to cut down our Christmas tree (we never cut our own before). It was so much fun! The area was surrounded by big redwood trees and cute little barns that sold crafts, fruits, fudge and everything you can think of made with apples (Fritters, doughnuts, pies, carmel apples). We had lots of little ones with us who loved the face painting, hay rides, and ponies.



Afterwards our friend Michele and her daughter, Sausha, came over to help decorate the tree. Sausha was so excited to put the star on top and then play with the race cars Tom set up under the tree.


The next morning we enjoyed our coffee with fresh “black Arkansas” apples and homemade apple butter on our toast. YUMMY
