{wrapping up Christmas 2016}

I spent Tuesday with Lindsey and Kamry and, once again, had the best visit! Peter showed up bright and early the next morning (yaaaa!! for early crew changes!!!) and then Julie and Derek stopped by on their way home. Denny, Glenna, Shelli, and Addison dropped in for a little visit too. Kamry LOVES people, so she was happy to entertain guests that morning! :O)

Peter and I came back on the boat later that day, and ended up taking a nap as soon as we got home. :O) This is one of the perks of being empty-nesters---naps...whenever!! 

We opened all the gifts left under the tree and had dinner. Before Peter had gone back to work, we had big plans for celebrating just like it was Christmas when he got back, but I think by now, we were both over Christmas, and decided to just open gifts and skip the big Christmas dinner. Instead, we made bacon wrapped scallops and sauteed crabmeat. YUM!!!! 

We had the best Christmas, literally celebrating it all month long. We are super excited that the 2017 schedule is out and Peter and the boys get most ALL of the holidays and special events off next year, including CHRISTMAS!!!! :O)

We received some awesome gifts this year, and my Nana tee and bracelet were two of my faves!!

Here's what else we got......

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday and wishing you a healthy and happy New Year!!
