The dogs like when I sat in this chair.

And a little Precious Moments
The look of surprise...
The one Precious Moments on her Christmas list was one that they do not make anymore and is difficult to find to buy, but mom had one and gave it to her. It's a little girl and a deer.
Hudson got an Echo Dot. He is loving playing music whenever he wants now! (And I like that I can set a sleep timer on it and it turns itself off)
The dogs really enjoyed that the kids beds were on the floor.
And Shadow snuck in my room and took over Jonathan's side of the bed every time he left to get his shower. Too funny! And he ran away as soon as Jonathan got back :)
Lauren and Grandmommy making candied pecans.
We played several games while there. The kids really enjoyed the Scattagories game.
We went to see the lights in town. Since we weren't allowed to get out of the car, mom decided to get everyone a milkshake. The dogs had their very first pup cup. They loved it! They are getting just a bit spoiled!!
The kids liked the ants carrying the candy cane.
And they liked the diamond ring shooting from the canon and landing in the gift under the tree.
Every morning after their walk...this is where the dogs ended up. We have all enjoyed sleeping in and staying up late. It's been a good break from school.
Benjamin and Tyler really enjoying talking via FaceTime and playing card games long distance.
My view during our family game.
The kids decided that they wanted to rake the leaves in the backyard.
Regan wanted to enter a pie making contest. She has never made a pie before, but this one looks pretty good!
We don't know the results of the contest yet.
Grandmommy told them that she would teach them how to burn the leaves.
They worked hard...and loved it!!
They added this big log and some smaller sticks to that they could have a decent fire going to roast marshmallows on later.
The smoke bothered Hudson, so he went inside and got his mask.
When the kids think of visiting Grandmommy, they always think of this meal...fried chicken, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, and fried okra.
This was Regan's finished pie!! Doesn't it look amazing! It is a vanilla chocolate flavor with mini chocolate chips and crushed candy canes inside. The crust is an Oreo crust.
Well, we waited just a hair too long to come back out with the marshmallows. All that was left were simmering ashes. It was still plenty hot to roast, but the Katherine likes to catch hers on fire before she eats it.

These last few photos are from Jonathan's phone...so they are added in out of order.
We have had a wonderful Christmas break!!! Now, back to work tomorrow!
