Christmas Morning 2011

Christian and I were up until 1:30 in the morning doing some very last minute gift wrapping and other Christmas preparations.  The kids woke up early and they waited, and waited, and waited until Christian and I were able to wake ourselves up enough to go down stairs.  We had some very patient children for a Christmas morning.

























December 24, 2011 - Christmas Eve

We went to Bedstemors and Bedstefars house for our Christmas Eve dinner tonight.  She made roast beef, roasted potatoes, peas and corn, rolls, hollandiase sauce, we had martinellis, and ris al amande.  I took our foster daughter to her mom's house so she could be with her mom and other family members on Christmas Eve.  My family waited until I got back to start the rest of our evening.  We sang a couple Christmas carols and commenced to open our presents. 





Peter was extra funny tonight and was quick with the quips and silly jokes. 





Bedstamor had her house decorated so beautifully.

Uncle Peter, Melody, and Aaron, patiently waiting for all of us to start singing so we could start opening presents.



Abby enjoying her candy cane, that turned out to be a very sticky mess.  It kept her quiet for a long time though.





Peter looks awesome in his new Diamond Backs Jersey.



Bedstefar trying on his new slippers








Baylee crying for Christian's Christmas candy



Baylee discovering that Black Liquorish doesn't agree with her.  All that crying and she didn't even like it.
and oh yeah, I was there too.  In case you were wondering.
