Christmas

The kids woke up around 7 this year. Since I was a slacker and didn't make my usual Christmas breakfast of cinnamon rolls we just had cereal and toast. The kids seemed quite hesitant this year to dig into the presents. I really don't know what it was but they both just went into the living room and sat on the couch. But, once they got started, there was no stopping them.





Everyone was happy with their gifts this year. Even me since I finally got my Kitchen Aid mixer. Woohoo!!! Jim was really happy with his Nook. It was a great Christmas because we got to spend the day as a family enjoying each other and making memories. My family came over to our house this year for Christmas. It was fun having them at our house for the holiday. The next day we went to Jim's parents' house to exchange gifts and then went and saw Sherlock Holmes. I LOVE the holiday traditions we have. And, I am sooooo grateful that our families live so close by so we can enjoy the holidays with them. We always miss Dave, Laurie and their kids and Tricia and Tim at these times of year but it just makes us enjoy the time we get with them even more!
