Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was a blast! RB and I were up waiting for the kids to wake. They didn't wake up till 8:30. MJ was the first to wake and the first words out of her mouth was, "Daddy, you said I could have a cinnamon roll when I woke up." She decided presents first was a good idea and so she went and woke up Lil. MJ didn't think Santa came because there were no presents under our upstairs tree. Then when she came down stairs she realized Santa came to the other tree. She and Lil opened Santa gifts first and then we open the gifts to each other that were already under the tree. RB got a Harry Potter book and CD, as well as two extensions to Race for the Galaxy. I got a new camera and am so happy because our old one was dying fast. MJ and Lil loved opening their gifts and true to our word we had cinnamon rolls after for breakfast before getting ready for the day.


Here are their Christmas Eve PJ's and we decided to give them their new blankets too since MJ already found them in our closet. We are going to have to hide gifts better next year from MJ.


MJ's face was so funny here. She was not happy that Grandma and pa Boyer gave her a garbage truck for Christmas. It is remote controlled but that did not matter until RB got it out and put the batteries in. Then her and Lil played with them and had a great time.



This year we went to RB's families home for dinner. It was a lot of fun. We ate a ton of food, talked a lot, and opened more family gifts. RB's sister and husband had us this year and their gift to me was awesome. It was a white elephant gift that they had gotten the night before but I didn't care. This gift was awesome and totally perfect for me!

I got a Rat Trap!!!

After we went to the Roper household and enjoyed the company of friends while playing some games. It was a great day and a wonderful Christmas filled with family and friends! One of the best things about this Christmas break is the girls have been sleeping in till 8am every morning. It has been heavenly. Merry Christmas everyone!
