Christmas Eve/ Christmas 2009

We have had such a fun week. We started off by Christmas caroling with Aaron's family on Monday night. It was tons of fun and I hope we get to do it every year. Lizzy met us at Mike and Carolee's and came back up to our house for the week. My parents arrived Tuesday night so they could be here Wednesday morning when Ethan woke up. He was very excited and immediately wanted to play hide.
Christmas Eve was slightly different this year because we were at our own house. We started the day off with a big delicious breakfast of french toast, pancakes, bacon, eggs, orange juice, and fried potatoes. Later that afternoon my mom and I made pies, and rolls for Christmas dinner, and got things ready for cinnamon rolls that evening. We had a fun evening hanging out with each other, and Ethan loved eating Grandpa's Ritz crackers with cream cheese, and snuggling with him and Landon.
After our crackers we decorated ginger bread houses. Ethan pretty much ate all of his and Grandpa's candy, and Lizzy and Aaron had some structure problems, but it was tons of fun to hear everyone laughing and having a good time.



After cleaning up the left over candy that Ethan didn't eat we sat around the table to play some games, eat cinnamon rolls and drink hot chocolate. The cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate were very tasty.

Santa came and visited our little home, and boy was it a fun morning.











We had such a fun morning. Josie and Abu came later that afternoon, and Lizzy's boyfriend David also came for Christmas dinner. We had juicy roast beef and all the fixings. It was such a great day. I hope that everyone had as much fun as I did. Thanks for spending Christmas with us, and our cute little boys.
