Merry Christmas! You get Karen and Aliswan covering their holiday chins!
'Andrew the Angel' with his lego wings reading poetry...yes I'm serious.
Grandpa reading everyone poetry on Christmas Eve.
We think we may have a new Christmas Eve tradition!!! HOAGIES!!! Best dinner ever!
Karen and Aliswan made deviled eggs for the first time. They were scrumptious...even this poor egg whom Nate grabbed. We had a bit of a hard time peeling the shell off this one.
The girls with their new Christmas Eve pajamas! Check out those hotties!
And then there were the boys matching pajamas...wouldn't they make a great boys band with their baggy booties? :)
So basically these are pictures of Christmas Eve only, but the ones from Christmas day aren't as exciting as these. Christmas day consisted of many traditions. We jumped on the parentals bed (scaring them awake), we gave them the first ever kids gift which was a pretty awesome experience. We decided to buy them a digital frame--we put a ton of family pictures on the walls upstairs and left a space for the frame. When they woke up we gave them a USB, which they had no idea what it was, full of pictures. When they walked out of their door they saw the frame, plugged in the USB, and walah! pictures! It was really good.
We also got a Wii for the family. Boy has that been great. Suddenly all of the kids are doing their chores and sucking up to the parentals. Best purchase ever! Also it is quite fun and provides hours of family time and entertainment.
The cita also got a kitchenaid. I had my first Black Friday experience getting it for her and let me tell you, I'm awesome. I scared those poor people spitless. No taking the last kitchenaid from me, no sireee. So we have been baking a ton with that. In fact I made my first loaves of homemade bread...again, the first time was rough but the second round was scrumdidileeumptious! I'm very proud, so here is a picture:
So it is New Years Eve and hopefully there will be more news and pictures to come! We are sad to see the Christmas break coming to a swift close. :( Happy Holidays! They have been wonderful!
