I love this time of year! After all the hustle and bustle, it was wonderful to have a few days away from school and work to celebrate our Savior's birth and just be together. We invited Grandma & Grandpa Styer for Christmas Eve dinner. We had clam chowder, rolls, veggies & dip, little smokies, and Peppermint dessert. We watched a little football, opened one gift (pajamas from Granny & Grandpa Tew), read the Christmas story from Luke 2, and got to bed at a pretty decent time. The kids forgot to leave cookies & milk for Santa so it's a good thing their mother remembered.
Cam was the first to wake up on Christmas morning...at 5:40! He was so excited because he is sure that he heard Santa during the night. The boys really wanted a Wii for Christmas so they decided to ask Santa to bring that to the whole family. I told them they needed to ask for a back-up gift, just in case Santa didn't want to bring a Wii. Cam asked for a Millenium Falcon (which is a remote control Star Wars toy that flies), Gavin asked for a bike, and Owen asked for a Leapster. Santa decided it would be best to give them their back-up gifts...because both sets of grandparents pitched in to help us buy a Wii! We had the Wii be the last gift we opened and the kids were thrilled. We played and played and played with all the wonderful gifts we received. I'm sorry to say that I neglected my camera the majority of the day. Here are the few pics I took before the unwrapping began.
