Christmas Eve

We had the best Christmas ever! Every year I think that but it just keeps getting better! We had so much fun. My family growing up always had a tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve, which I always loved - it was always pajamas and we knew it! We have carried that on & its great because everyone has really cute pajamas for all the pictures Christmas morning! On Christmas eve day we decorated a gingerbread house, then that evening Dave's parents and his brother Mark came over and we had dinner. We almost had to take Mark to insta care - he ate a cookie that was next to one that had peanut or peanut butter and he is allergic but we gave him some benadryl and he felt better a couple of hours later- a little scarey though!

Christmas morning the kids woke up about 5:45 am - they got what they wanted and were very happy. Both of our parents came that morning to see the kids and what they got. We had a very fun day of playing with all the toys and games all day long! We even skipped lunch we were having too much fun. We went to Dave's parents that evening and had an awesome dinner and opened presents and were spoiled by his parents. We are so blessed to have such great kids that are very grateful for everything and both of us have such great families that love us and treat us so well. Here's to a great 2009 and looking forward to a great 2010!
