Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! It was a fun day that started with excitement - Santa ate the cookie! The boys took FOREVER to open their gifts. We had to open, assemble, and play with each one before we could move on. I wasn't expecting that! I also wasn't expecting Lionel to covet everything Everett received. I pictured it the other way around.

Everett felt pretty yucky after the gifts were opened, so there was a lot of napping, TV watching, and laying around. Sunny and 72 degrees, we also played outside and had the windows open. I made chicken paprikash and everyone went to bed early.

The surprise hot gift was a soup ladle I got from Billy. (Yes, I asked for it.) Both boys played with it and Everett even snuggled with it on the couch.

We have one more celebration tomorrow and then we prepare for a certain someone's 35th birthday and 2011!
