The festivities started Sunday when we had a nice dinner party at my parents house. I have the CUTEST niece and nephews around and it was so much fun to watch them open their gifts. This also happened to be Gary's birthday and we celebrated with his favorite...Texas Sheet Cake. He got a whole bunch of gift certificate to put toward some hunting gear he's had his eye on.
On the receiving end of things, I got the COOLEST pan from my parents. It is a Cephalon dutch oven that can be used on the stove or in the oven and it has a red enamel finish which makes it cute too! I also got some kitchen items from Gary (including a really neat baby food processor) and a few cook books! I am excited to put them all to use!
We spent our first Christmas in Winnemucca this year. Nancy (Gary's sister) made a wonderful prime rib dinner for Christmas Eve. Christmas day was a big change from the Taylor family traditions, but nice and quiet none the less. Lydia was spoiled by her aunts and Grandpa Cannon. Gary had fun working on some welding projects and hunting with his dad and I, well I pretty much didn't do anything at all. It was nice for the first couple of days but I was stir crazy by day three.
Here's hoping you all have a very happy new year!
