Whew, another year of Christmas has come to a close! All month to prepare and bam, it's over. It was definitely fun while it lasted! Let's see a brief synopsis...Christmas Eve was spent at my Mom's house. Aaron was working that day so it was the kids and I, plus Grandma and my brother. We had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner of crab, salad and sourdough bread. Pizza for the kids. I let the kids each pick a present to open as well.
On Christmas Day, the kids were up before 7 and begging to open the Santa gifts but they had to wait for Aaron to come home around 8am. After the first round of gift and stocking opening commenced, we prepared a big breakfast and Uncle Jeff and Grandma also came over. The rest of the day was spent opening gifts, playing with toys, and watching movies (Fred Clause--skip it, Enchanted--a favorite, Step-Brothers--inappropriately funny)...there was also lots of eating going on. Jeff made the entire dinner and like all his dinners, was completely gourmet and delicious. He made a Tur-duck-en which is a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey. Each bird had a different stuffing that went with it and it was quite an ordeal! Grandma made a DE-licious peanut butter and chocolate pie for dessert. Needless to say bootcamp plans are in the works and starting SOON!
