"you know it's a good christmas when you're covered in sparkles"

so i didn't blog yesterday...it was a long day and i was tired. here are some highlights.

1. breakfast with chloe and sasha
i got to see the girls one last time before i left. we went to the bakery and we all had chocolate almond croissants. i had been craving one of those little guys forEVER and was so happy to finally eat one. ha. and it was fun to spend the morning with two of my favorite people :)

2. we drove to la
so now we're here! with everyone! yays!

3. grandpa ed
yesterday was grandpa ed's 78th birthday. i love him to pieces. :)

4. family
i got to see all of my family. we're all here together, and it's wonderful. it's the best! last night was "christmas eve," so that means today is....CHRISTMAS!!

so on to today. merry christmas again! it's the hughes family's second christmas muahahaha.

1. christmas breakfast burritos
we have them every christmas morning! what can i say? i love them. everyone loves them. we put all kinds of things on them (except if you're walker, and then you just put bacon on yours).

2. second christmas!
in typical hughes fashion, we put off opening presents for a long time, because we are always running a bit late around here. but it's good times. always good times.

3. bray'd's funny faces
my cousin brady (sometimes spelled bray'd because that's the cool way to do it) is very nice. he lets me take pictures of him even when he doesn't want me to. granted, he always makes faces...but they're funny. and they make me laugh. so that's good.

4. games
my family plays a lot of games. we like that kind of thing. today mark and uncle mike and i played bananagrams. we love that game.

5. cranberry pudding cake
oh man. my aunt carrie is currently baking some cranberry pudding cake. yuuuuuuuummmmmmmm it's my favorite and i look forward to it every year. and she makes this vanilla butter sauce stuff...i die.

6. return to me
"this is bob. his wife's dead." we're watching "return to me" right now. hughes family classic.

here are some photos of yesterday and today!
