Christmas and New Years Eve


Our family had a wonderful Christmas this year. We made cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve and relaxed. It was a good day. When Pres came home from work we ate dinner and opened our Christmas eve presents......jammies for all of us!! Pres had to work Christmas day this year so our kids had to wait until he came home from work to see what Santa brought them and open all of their gifts. They were extra excited about that. We woke up on Christmas morning and got ready for the day and went over to Grandpa and Grandma's house for our annual Christmas breakfast and family party. We were hoping we would get to talk to Rock as he is on his mission and mom and dad were to call him that morning. But we couldn't get a hold of him. He is in Chile and was told the wrong time for us to call him. So mom and dad finally got to talk to him the next morning. He is really enjoying his mission and doing a great job!! We hung out there until almost 4 then came home to wait for dad to come home. When he got home we had our Christmas and opened presents and had a great night. Our kids were so spoiled this year and got everything they wanted. Santa brought us a Wii with all the controllers and games. We played the Wii so long that night I think it was until 1am. We didn't even realize what time it was. Our whole family loves it. Thanks Santa! I was surprised with a great gift from my hubby, an Ipod!! Thanks babe!! I love you! My dad came over a couple days later and played with the kids on the Wii. He had to work Christmas too. Brooke had to show him how to play Littlest Pet Shop.

New Years Eve was lots of fun. We have our whole family get together and have our annual NYE party. We had tons of yummy food, snacks, treats, you name it we had it. The kids played the Wii and XBox and board games all night. The adults played poker and then the Wii. We had bought noise makers for the kids with hats, crowns everything. They had so much fun. Then we gave them poppers to do when it was midnight. We all gathered in the family room and did the countdown with everyone. It was fun and very very noisy!!! Happy New Year everyone!!

(The date got messed up on my camera on NYE so it should be 2009)
