Well, I’ve wanted to write a “what we did” and “what we got”
Christmas post, because I’ve been reading lots of posts like that and
they’re fun. But truth be told, mine will be pretty darn boring next to
everyone else’s. We’ve got no family out here so it was just us.
We had our special dinner on Christmas eve. Hubby made a glorious ham
(I’m talking ham that ham haters have loved). He glazes it with mustard
and brown sugar and slow cooks it and it is sooooo good. We had
homemade scalloped potatoes and broccoli with that. Then after dinner we
drove around and looked at Christmas lights. We came home and made some
gingerbread cookies and then put the kiddos to bed.
Christmas morning found us up at 6:00 a.m. reading Luke 2, then
opening presents and then enjoying warm gooey homemade cinnamon rolls.
Ethan received a Hot Wheels Turbo Glo track with Turbo Glo Car,
the “Rings” Planet Hero action figure, two Magnetix toys (from a Secret
Santa) and some candy and other odds and ends in his stocking. Upon
opening his Turbo Glo Track set he squealed with delight and exclaimed,
“I’ve been waiting for dis my whole life!!!”
Caleb received the new Mater National Cars game for PS2, the “Black
Hole” Planet Hero action figure, a Backyardigans Memory Game (from a
Secret Santa) and stocking stuffer odds and ends.
Vanessa received two new rattles and a Playskool pop up fun toy and then a cute pajama set and shirt from a secret Santa.
Hubby received a Kitchen Aid Knife Set courtesy of moi, made available through my first ever pay check for my blogging job
I received a new Spyro game and an Uno Attack game from a Secret Santa.
It was a delicious, peaceful Christmas. We watched all our favorite
Christmas movies, read all our favorite Christmas books, listened to all
our favorite Christmas music, saw all our favorite Christmas sights and
enjoyed family together time for four straight days.
T’was wonderful!
