What a fun (and interesting) Christmas we had this year. I will get to the interesting part later. Christmas Eve was spent at my dad's house and I was on the food planning committee. I thought it would be fun to do ALL
appys for the food. I did a yummy chicken salad and lots of different dips. My sis in law made the yummiest shrimp
appy. Man I love
appys! My dad could not resist the temptation to buy and cook a "
turducken". A "
turducken" is a chicken stuffed inside a duck all stuffed inside a turkey. It was really good actually! We opened gifts and this picture was the highlight. Most of my family is obsessed with the Broncos. Why? Poor choice if you ask me. I thought this hat was hilarious. Then we came home and I became REALLY sick. It is hard being sick when you are
preggo and cant take anything for it. So I didn't sleep and on Christmas I felt worse :-( It is sad being sick on your favorite day of the year but I still managed to have a good time.
Here is what Santa left little Austin man. He LOVES this thing. He goes upstairs and will play with his train table for hours....which allows me to get lots done...like blogging!
Horray for Santa.
Austin Christmas morning opening his Santa gifts. Just as a
side note: we let
Austin pick out his pajamas for Christmas Eve and this is what he came up with.
We were making Austin some lunch and when I was done I came back to this. Opening presents is exhausting! So we were supposed to go over to my brother's early on Christmas day but I was sick, Austin was sleeping and I called to find out this: My brother had been in a car accident Christmas Eve!! He had gone in for an emergency patient and was driving home but had to swerve so he wouldn't hit a deer and drove into a ditch and hit his head on the steering wheel. He then passed out for an hour until someone finally stopped and let him use their cell phone to call AMA and his wife (who was panicked as you can imagine). He finally got home at 2am with a bloody car and face. Not fun! He is fine and the car is in the shop. Crazy!!!
After Christmas we headed up to the Chalets in B.C. for some snowshoeing fun. Austin likes being shirtless lately but is in love with his new toque. Looks cute to me!!
Hans pulling Austin and Michael on the sled outside the Chalets.
We went on the most beautiful hike through the mountains to a waterfall. What could be better than that?? The weather was perfect.
Mom and I before the hike
Breathtaking!
Here is the waterfall we hiked to.
They had this bench near the waterfall where we ate our lunch. It was
sooooo much fun!
Leaving our mark.

I'm sorry to hear that you were sick on Christmas! Oh, and about your brother! My goodness, I am glad everyone is okay. Austin is looking cuter than ever and that train set is killer awesome!
I love you Palmers...a TurDucken?!! I hope you are feeling better... so sorry it happened on Christmas. Which brother was in the accident?! I guess I will need to search some other Palmer blogs to find out. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing Christmas.
I love snowshoeing. I wish I could have been on that hike. It looks amazing. And that's crazy what happened to Jared! I'm so happy he's ok! Love the shirtless look.
