Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2008

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year!! We were able to spend it in our new home and just kick back and enjoy the Holiday Season. There is so much to tell so here is a quick summary:

ChRiStMaS eVe DiNNeR.. One Word... YUM!! Great turkey Dinner, mash potatoes, funeral potatoes, stuffing and rolls!! Yes, I even cooked it all!! KyLee and Sawyer pitched in and helped while Cody was working.

ChRiStMaS eVe AcTivItIeS..One Word... EXCITING!! KyLee and Sawyer made the leaning Tower of Christmas Tree. It was a gingerbread tree that ended up leaning to one side. KyLee and Sawyer did it all by themselves. They had a great time and frosting was over every inch of their body! They made Chocolate Chip Cookies, sorry not from scratch, but from the Pillsbury tube. Mom ran out of time this year for cookies. We made Reindeer Food and they sprinkled it in the rain. We capped the night off with the annual opening one present gift... SuRpRiSe... PJS!!
The Kids were off to bed at 8:30 after putting cookies, milk, and candy canes out for Santa and pulled up NORAD one more time to see where Santa was... last check, Cincinatti, OH.

ChRiStMaS mOrNinG.... One Word... AWESOME!! We had such a great morning. The girls woke Cody and me up at 7:30 and we headed downstairs to see if Santa had come. The first thing they saw was the kitchen that Santa brought for Sawyer. The girls were having such a great time that I had to break up the fun and see if KyLee wanted to open up a gift fron Santa. She was so happy that Santa brought her a camera. The girls had a great time opening their gifts and playing with everything they got!! The girls got Cody a laptop table that he can use while he is watching T.V. and the girls got me a beautiful watch.

ChRiStMas AfTeRnOOn...One Word... RELAXING!! We called our family to wish them all a Merry Christmas and to see what Santa brought our cousins. Sawyer and mommy took a nap, KyLee took pictures of everything living and non living while jamming to her HSM songs on her new I-pod and Cody relaxed and watched movies, and even woke me up noting that Day's of Our Lives was on.....

ChRiStMaS Night.... One Word... WONDERFUL!! We talked to a few more family members and we played with Sawyer's kitchen, read our new books, built a house with Sawyer's blocks, voided KyLee and her non stopping picture taking, ate leftovers, and sat together cuddled up in their new Tinkerbell and HSM blankets as a family and watched a movie.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Best Wishes to everyone in the New Year.
