Christmas FOOD!!

The Saturday before Christmas we had Pizza and Root Beer Floats.  We were invited to Christmas Eve at someone else's house, but still wanted to stay true to the pizza and root beer float tradition.  I'll forever want pizza and root beer floats during Christmas.

We are lucky to have friends here in Omaha.  On Sunday our neighbors Paul and Pat had us over for dinner.

Pat loves Monty.  She made such a sweet spread.  

And can you believe there was more!  

It always looks so inviting.  I sat by this tray for about an hour.  It didn't disappoint!

 We had a wonderful dinner with Paul and Pat.

On Christmas Eve we went to another friends house.  They had a spread like I'd never seen.

It was food heaven!!  We took home enough food for a week.  It was such a fun evening.  We played games, ate, and went to watch Christmas lights.  It was a perfect Christmas Eve.  

How we didn't all gain 500 pounds is a Christmas miracle!

Makai turns 9

Makai has always loved his birthday!  This week was no exception!  He received a box from Mammy and Grandpop several days before his birthday and he carried it around for days.  It was pretty cute.  He knew there was a lego inside and couldn't wait to open it. 

Box he carried around for a week

See...another room, another floor!

He loves to read.  I've never seen a kid dissect a book in the way he does  This book came with his Lego from Mammy and Grandpop.

He loved putting the Lego together and 

9 years and still amazing!  

Makai loves Legos, he loves book and he loves food. He loves to play, never cleans up after himself and hates chores.  But, he also has never met someone he doesn't like.  He can play with anyone.  Has a soft heart and loves.  We love him.  He's a blessing to our family.  He's a big friendly giant.
