We had a great Christmas again this year. We were able to visit with a lot of our family and a few of our friends too! We started out Christmas Eve by decorating giant ginger bread men for Santa!! I bet he was stuffed when he left our house that night!
We finished off Christmas Eve with breakfast for dinner at Nana and Grandads and the traditional Christmas pajamas and reading the nativity story before heading to bed to make way for Santa Claus!
First thing Christmas morning the kids were wide awake and ready to see their presents from Santa. Then we had a quick breakfast and opened our presents from each other.
Even Oscar enjoyed being involved in the presents opening. He loves boxes and paper and getting in small places. He's such a nut!
After our presents we were able to go next door to visit with Nana and Grandad and some family members gathered there. We were there to surprise Nana with a trip to Hawaii for her and Grandad's 50th wedding anniversary this April. It was SUPER fun to watch as she figured out the gift we were giving her and that we will all be traveling to Hawaii in April for a big celebration.
And after that we were able to host Christmas dinner at our house for my side of the family. We had a ham, leg of lamb, roasted veggies and asparagus. Yum. We had razzleberry pie with ice cream and pecan chocolate for dessert. It was lovely!
It was a busy day, but so much fun to see everyone and spend time together. We celebrated together and enjoyed visiting and being together. Lots of smiles, lot of fun! Merry Christmas to everyone!
