Christmas at the Bases

Happy New Year! I have kinda of slacked on blogging since my birthday post! We spent four days at the ranch in Oklahoma for New Years so I was without a computer! I am going to do my Christmas/Birthday/New Year posts broken up over the next couple of days! Or if I get ambitious I might just knock them all out and be up to date!

Today's blog is Christmas with Eric's family. I still need to get the pictures from my parents that I took on their nice camera. I highjack it when I am there! Christmas Eve started with dinner at Eric's parents house with his sister's family.

 Sweet Blair in her Christmas dress.

 Dinner was homemade canneloni and bolognese. SO GOOD!

 Blair having fun at the dinner table.

 We went to my parents after dinner and then back to the Bases the next morning. Here is their tree with all the gifts!

 Eric's dad's white elephant gift from his office. He thought is was funny because it said HO.... 
No correlation with Blair here!

 Blair in a basket - lol I dont know....

 Eric's mom and her two favorites - Blair and Lucky. (with Eric's grandmother City Mama in the background)

Eric and his doggie.

We had a great time opening presents with Eric's family. They really get into it! After presents, we had seafood gumbo for lunch. Eric's mom wanted to change it up and not do the traditional Christmas lunch. The gumbo was really good! After lunch, we headed over to my parents to celebrate with the Drakes. More on that to come!
