The Szachury Christmas

This Christmas was big for us this year. It was the first time having Christmas in our new house and Crystal and Paul were out this year which hasn't ever happened. I tried to make it every special with all the decorations, baking and food. But of course it's the memories that really do it and I think everyone had a great time. It was truly a wonderful Christmas.




She was very excited! We each got her a vintage camera for her collection
I love these boots! It doesn't even feel like I'm wearing heels which is perfect to me!


The vintage wrapping paper that my sister wrapped my gifts in
Of course an ornament. My mom gets the best ones for me every year
I baked some Snickerdoodle cookies for Paul.
Of course Ollie gets a gift (from Nana, aka my mom). It was a rubber net ball with a bell on the inside. He loves it.
This is what Ollie does when everyone is sitting at the table- lays under someones chair.

Taking a break in the day for some snacks



He really wanted that ham but the training is really paying off; he didn't even go for it. He sat down right away and waited. He got a little bit as his reward.

And then we lite it on fire.
It was an intense cake, but good!
This is Ollie at the end of the night. He's not one for sleeping or staying for that matter, in someone's lap so this was a big deal. He was really tiered.
Mom's big gift from Crystal. We had to pause and make sure there as enough room on the camera memory card for this moment.

Crystal was getting a new computer so she gave her old one to our mom
The boys, having a little fun jamming in the living room. A great sight and sound to be enjoyed.
