Christmas Day!

Mom invited Matt and I to stay at their house Christmas eve, and so we spent the morning (I had the day off!!!) getting our animals set up, Christmas gifts finished, and our gear packed (there is always so much stuff to bring.....)

We enjoyed spending the evening playing games and hanging out. We enjoyed the reading of the Christmas story and The Night Before Christmas. And all of us decided this would be a Christmas that we all slept in....until 7 or 8!

The next morning, Kristin drove over very first thing (at about 7) and we all enjoyed a festive Christmas morning. I enjoyed watching Jesse learn that opening gifts is FUN. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we forgot to take pictures until Mom, Kristin and Megan opened their gifts. I wanted to capture the moment, so Matt snapped this for me!

It was a really enjoyable and relaxing Christmas, and we really appreciated the electricity and beautiful clear bright day (the polar opposite of last year :>



We got all kinds of fun stuff, including a nice chopper (which I am very excited to use) and a pasta maker for Matt!! It should be a fun year in the kitchen!
