Our Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas. After the 4:00 Christmas Eve mass at church, we spent Christmas Eve with my family and had Spring Creek BBQ for the adults and pizza for the kids and there were plenty of desserts to go around. mmm! After everyone ate we opened presents and visited for a while and got home around 8:30. We put the children to bed and watched a movie "Wanted" and after the movie was over we put the children's presents under the tree with their stocking in front so everyone could tell who's pile was who's and then dh' & I got to bed around midnight. The kids woke us up at 6:30 to say that Santa had come. We were soooo tired but, we got up and went to see and Santa was good to everyone. The kids played with their toys for a while before heading over to Howard's folks'.

We went to Howard's mom and dad's house to spend the day with his family and there we had Turkey with all the sides and again...plenty of desserts. hehe! Mom makes homemade Christmas cookies that are to die for and I try to make but, mine never turn out quite as good. After lunch some of the folks took naps and boy do they know how to saw some logs. LOL! It was like a symphony of snores. LOL! We opened presents around 5:00 and had some leftovers for dinner. We watched a little bit of Home Alone and had some wonderful eggnog that dad makes. mmm! Then we got our stuff together and we were home by 9:30.

I got Mama Mia and we have been watching it over and over again. The girls love it!

Saturday I took back a couple of duplicates and got some batteries with the difference. For dinner I tried out a new recipe...Easy Cheesy Spaghetti Bake and the kids ate it all. It's a miracle! Then we all watched "Nancy Drew" from blockbuster. It was cute!
