Merry Christmas!

Pictures speak a thousand words don’t they?

We had a fantastic day. I just love Christmas. I do remember the Reason for the Season, but I would be lying if I didn’t admit how much I truly enjoy my children’s delight in opening presents. It’s amazing. I absolutely adore it. You could probably say I am addicted to it – evidenced by the receipt totals this season!!!

We opened gifts around 8am. Em got her new bike and Club Penguin membership. Dinara got a video camera and Playmobile Castle. And Noah got a DS Lite and a haul of Pirate Playmobile stuff.

The family gift was the coveted Wii. Oh my. This thing is so great. It really is all it is hyped up to be. We bought several games to go with it and 3 controllers. And we have all had fun bowling, playing tennis, and cow throwing. My favorite game is Trauma Center. I will admit that I bought this game for myself. It’s a lot of fun, although I will admit to not getting much Wii time today!

We had a delicious western egg casserole for breakfast with cinnamon rolls. And for dinner Prime Rib. We made this jello salad we saw watching the Paula Dean show. And what I loved the most was that everything was so “easy” today… that I was even able to take a nap this afternoon! YIPEE!

Having my parents here has been really nice. I will admit that we are in the “home stretch” now and mom can sort of “grate” on my nerves at times. But it still makes me very happy they are here. I have made a real effort to express how I feel to them. That it isn’t just about what I “think”… but that I feel so happy they are here to share all of this.

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday too. Thanks for reading about mine!
