Christmas Weekend

I know that this is very belated...but it took me awhile to remember to upload the pictures!


One of the best things about Christmas being on a weekend was that Daddy didn't have to work at all on Christmas Eve! 

Christmas Eve:

We let the kids each open one present on Christmas Eve - Quinn opened a Little People book that has flaps that you open and see what is inside.  Owen opened a Spiderman puzzle.  Then him and Daddy put it together:

And Quinn wanted to help too!

I made my Baked Potato Soup for supper that night (along with grilled cheese with bacon).  Then we went to Christmas Eve service at our church - Owen got to hold his own candle at the end of the service.  We had to blow it out early as he was being dripped on :)

Then we put out the Reindeer Food that Owen made at school and also put out some chocolate milk and peanut butter kiss cookies for Santa.



Christmas:

I woke up not feeling the greatest so Daddy got up with the kids and I slept a bit longer but knew I shouldn't keep the kiddos waiting too long to open presents.

Owen got a Nintendo 3DS with a couple games (Mario World and Legos Star Wars) and a case for it.  He also got some wall tracks, books, a new coat, lots of clothes, and an Angry Birds toy for his backpack.

Quinn got an activity block, lots of clothes, a "car", puzzles, and her first pair of DSW shoes :)

Daddy got a lot of darts supplies and Mommy got a new pair of shoes (Nothing says love quite like getting each other their favorite obsession that you don't quite understand!).

We had pancakes, bacon, cinnamon rolls, and eggs for lunch.  Followed by some Oreo chocolate pie. 

We then played some board games!  All in all, a great day!
