Christmas recap

We got so much snow the beginning of last week! For a fairly warm weekend, we were lucky to keep some of it for Christmas.

Christmas Eve we made some sugar cookies for Santa. We all had a fun time helping.

I made the cutest snowmen out of mini marshmallows, fruit rollup scarves, sprinkle faces, and a chocolate chip hat. We were all giggly (mostly me) about how fricken' cute they turned out.

We left some cute cookies for Santa and took some to our Christmas Eve dinner at 5 Star BBQ. I was in a bit of a rush to get there on time, so no pics, but we had a really great time with family and had some awesome food with pork chops, mashed tatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, rolls and squash and treats.

When we got home I told the kids they could open 1 present. I just assumed they knew it was pajamas, Lucy had a little melt down because she was expecting a toy. (Nice face, huh?)

Boyd was really happy with his "pirate jammies" he wanted to wear them for days in a row.

Christmas morning we could hear Boyd and Lucy squeal when they came up the stairs. Ken stayed up until 5 am getting everything done, so we were pretty lucky to have the kids wake up around 9am. Lucy told me she won't cry about any more presents and she was quite happy and sweet the rest of the day.

Lucy said her favorite toys were the Rapunzel barbie and tv.

Daisy didn't even want to open other presents because she was too busy watching Snow White on her own tv. I can't believe I didn't get a good picture or video of Boyd- he squealed and hugged all of his presents, but his favorite was the new Toy Story Wii game. This year was really the first time he was excited and happy about Christmas. Sounds weird, but in the past years he was just too easily overwhelmed and ended having a hard time. We are really proud of how sweet, thankful and happy Boyd was for most of the day.

After our house, we headed over to Papa and Grandma's house for an awesome Christmas feast and for the last of the presents. The grandkids all got paper and markers plus one specific toy in a box. Lucy saw everyone get their paper and markers part, so when she opened hers she started to throw a fit "I don't want the same thing!" and in the same breath she saw a pony wii game and completely turned it around "I LOVE my present!" and squealed and hugged it. Little weirdo!

We hope you all had a great Christmas! We sure did!
