Christmas Eve at the Buechel home

Again the pictures loaded out of order :)
Two years ago when Mom & Dad came to see Matt & I for Christmas, we decided to have a Christmas Eve Open House for our friends who did not have family in Arizona. We decided to continue the tradition this year. This is Penny at the end of the night.
We are watching our friend Andrea's dogs, Miles and Lilly. Miles is obsessed with our presents. (he is wearing a diaper, its very odd)
Matt and I decided to open our presents tonight since we have such a busy day tomorrow with all his family. I opened a gorgeous strand of pearls from Beckie and Steve. Thanks Steve!!!!
Wally watching the party from his perch on the stairs, he looks like he is in jail.
Jenny and Warren were the last guests, we played Guitar Hero. I was even persuaded to play!
Matt, Guitar God!
Warren though Lilly Mae, the dog, would like to share his beer.
Jenny rocked and got points for style!
Jenny and I with all the food. (those are Buffalo Shrimp, I know you are all jealous!)

Lily spotted this monkey in Penny's stocking and had to have it.


Tara and I, Tara is wearing her Aunt Deb original apron. Which she loved!
I am wearing my Christmas dress, that Aunt Karen sent me a check to pick out!
Not wanting to get anything on my Christmas dress, as I cooked away I am also wearing an Aunt Deb original apron :) We had loads of food!
Merry Christmas everyone! We love and miss you! xoxo Jessie & Matt

Christmas

Last night when I went to Safeway the Salvation Army Bell Ringers were there and that always puts me in the Christmas Spirit. So I changed the background on the blog to something that reminded me of Christmas when I was a kid and I found some fun old Christmas pictures. Later today I am going to add some vacation pictures! This first picture is my second Christmas riding my horse Grandma & Grandpa bought me :)
Grandpa and Clara excitedly opening presents at Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike's house.

Jessie and Beckie on Cait Island, one of my favorite Christmas memories and Grandpa's too!



Grandpa & Aunt Karen in 1977.


Cassidy, Taylor and Alec when they were little.
