Christmas Day!!

Ok, so I have REALLY been putting this post off. But there is alot of other things that have happened and i like to keep things in order. So I am finally doing it. There are lots of pictures. So have fun looking I guess.

I was really looking forward to Christmas this year. The boys are finally at an age where they have fun ripping up paper and playing with toys. Christmas morning came and we let the boys play with their presents from Santa. They got a bigger version pillow pets and loved them. They had fun playing with their candy and train set. We then fed the boys and headed over to My sister in laws house. There all of Jasons family ate breakfast and opened presents from each other. The boys had fun playing with their cousins. Later on back at home Jasons parents stopped by to watch the boys open their parents. My brother and his wife met up at our house as well to watch the boys open their presents. It was then after we put the boys down for a nap that I started working on dinner. I have never cooked a turkey and I'm proud to say i finally did and it turned out so moist and yummy! We also cooked a ham. There was also rolls, stuffing, salad and my sis in law Elli made her yummy Chocoflan dessert (along with cotsco pies). It was so great. My Mom and Tom drove up and ate with us and spent that evening with us. All of my family was there except for Bill & Cari and their kids. We missed them but still enjoyed the night. The boys were spoiled by both sets of Grandparents and Aunts & Uncles. They got so much. Their toy stash doubled. We felt so lucky for all of our family members and are so grateful for everyone in our lives!
Here are the boys first in the morning after waking up. Here is Brad

My Christmas present. I have used it once, it was just a week ago. But i must say that I love it. It's quiet and has so many bells and whistles. It even came with 9 different presser feet and one of those ruffles. I cant wait to try it out.

I surprised jason with this DVD. He had to get at least a couple of presents he didnt know about. The other presents were a couple of shirts.

The day was so fun. I loved spending the whole day with all of our family. It was fun to be in charge of dinner and fun to see everyone enjoy it. I loved watching the boys reactions to everyone and the presents they gave them. I must say that I LOVE Christmas but it was a sigh of relief when all of it was over.

So, there you all go. Christmas in February...almost March.... :)
