What is this!? I am doing a blog post with pictures!? Crazy, right! Well as usual Jared spoiled me this Christmas and I got a camera and an Acer tablet- both things making it easier for me to blog with pictures! But I am still trying to figure out this blogger app so how the pictures will be showing up will just have to be a surprise!
My family does a Christmas eve dinner and we open gifts from each other. The kids die of excitement waiting to open the gifts from their cousins and momo and grandad. The dinner had a bit of a delay because my turkey was still a bit frozen when I put it in the oven 2 hours later than I should have! Jared surprised me with my new camera before dinner so I could start documenting Christmas, and I love the tester shot her took of me with my dad in the back! The kids finally got to open their presents and they were all super happy! Chelsea and Rob's kids were loving it too! Finally it was time to put on the new jammies and watch part of the Christmas story before bed. Thanks to melatonin the kids were out in 20 min which is unheard of for Christmas eve (man, I am so grateful for that stuff!)
Christmas morning was magical and the kids were happy with everything they got! Some of their gifts were: Indy- got lots of Pokemon stuff and the new Zelda game for the Wii. Some of libby 's favorites were a stuffed giraffe and a notebook with colored pens and fun books to read. Ellie loved the bed Santa brought her for her princess Belle doll, and a fur real friend cat. Milo loved his new bat cave and Teddy bear pillow pet. Jared loved his new coat and I am obviouly very excited about my lovely new tablet and my fantastic new camera!
We got to chat with Jared's mom in California, Penny, for a bit in the afternoon, we love her lots and hope we get to see her soon!
Oh Christmas eve we have a fun tradition with Jared's family of having pizza for dinner! Jared's Dad and Mom also made bread pudding for dessert and it was so yummy! We all got spoiled to with lots of fun gifts from every one! Jared's mom made the girls some really cute shirts that I can't wait for them to wear! Milo got a really noisy laser gun from grandpa to torture me and Jared with, lol!
Oh and we also went to a really awesome sacrament meeting in between all that, to remind us of who Christmas is really about! Jesus!
I love Christmas and I wish it didn't have to end!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
