Our Christmas!!

Our Christmas Eve was very calm and relaxing this year. We went to Mass early in the day and then took the kids out to eat. That evening we went to Brian's parents and tracked Santa on the computer. When Jakob saw that Santa was crossing into the U.S. we had to hurry home. We put out our cookies and milk. Hannah wanted to leave him hot chocolate but then she decided that it might stain his beard. Then we sprinkled our reindeer food outside and off to bed we went. The kids didn't get out of bed until 7:oo am on Christmas morning and then the real fun began. Hannah asked Santa for an Easy Bake Oven, Jakob a milk snake and Alex a mountain bike. Of course Santa came through!! Santa confided in us later that the snake was a little tricky. But daddy oops I mean Santa made it work. The rest of the morning they opened their presents from momma and daddy. And then the cooking began!! For anyone that doesn't already know this we are a HUGE cooking family. Jakob and Hannah really like to cook with me. Brian and Alex like to mix things so they can lick the spoon after!! We made our Christmas feast. Brian's parents and his brother came over as well as my grandmother. And we ate and ate and ate!! The kids got to stay in there pj's all day and it was wonderful. Although I must confess that not seeing my momma and daddy and brothers and sister in law, really was tough this year. But we are working on changing that for next year hopefully!! All in all it was a wonderful day. And we had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
