This Christmas we stayed here in good old Logan. It was a really nice and relaxing holiday. It seemed like the month or two before hand had been super busy, so it was great to have such a quiet and mellow time. The two days played out as follows: Christmas eve Bryan worked and the kids and I made and decorated cookies for Santa. We went to visit some friends(the Huffakers) early in the evening and then came home to have our traditional dinner of cheese zombies, tomato soup, and eggnog punch. Then it was time to open gifts. The kids were SO excited!
Here they are each holding up their first gift of the evening.
Here is Bry with his huge mug of eggnog punch.
Here is Ian, obviously thrilled with this gift:)
After opening all the gifts from family, the kids played for a while and then they were off to bed. Bry and I got to spend a good chunk of the night doing prep work for the next morning that we should have done before, but never quite got around to. After being up late and feeding Ian during the night, we were hoping Jake and Kate would sleep in a bit Christmas morning. When I heard whispers and footsteps at 6:30 I was not quite ready to get up. The kids did not seem to care too much about how tired I was, they just wanted to see what Santa brought.
Here is Jake just before they started to dig in.
And here is sleepy looking Kate ready to go.
Here is the aftermath of the two of them.
By about three that afternoon here is what everyone was doing...
Ian was just hanging out in his Christmas p.j.'s.
Jake had a very Transformers Christmas so he was transforming away the day.
Kate passed out in the chair watching a movie.
And Bryan disappeared for a while. I found this.
What a great Christmas!

A) the presents jake and kate are holding up appear to be from us, which makes me feel badly that they didn't get something better to open for their first present.
B) mikel picked out the onesies, he insisted on them having a cuff, so Ian could look tough
C) bryan looks so tiny in your giant bed
Isn't it nice to have Christmas at home...so relaxing. Our kids did much of the same as yours and Kevin did some of the same as Bryan. It seems like you never can get enough sleep over the holidays. Ian is so cute. I'm glad he's home and it looks like he's loved a lot.
