Christmas Pictures

So, I'm a little late on posting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I guess it's better late than never!

We started our Christmas Eve off at Jeremy's Grandma's house. We try to go over there every Christmas and see her. Jeremy's aunts and grandma are so generous and always have presents waiting for us when we arrive. We had a nice visit and got some fun presents and of course took our yearly Christmas picture with Grandma.

Later that night we started our annual Klein Family progressive dinner. It started at our house with an appetizer (breadsticks). We then headed to Jake and Emily's house for a super yummy salad, which I loved and want to make myself. After that we went to Grandpa and Grandma Klein's house for our pizza dinner and Jessica's caramel apples. Sharon had sprinkles and fun things for the kids to dip their apples in, which the kids loved. And, as usual, the kids had to dress up for the evening in Grandma's dress-up clothes! We ended the night with everyone getting to open one gift. Christmas Eve gifts are so fun!

We headed home to get ready for Santa to come, but before bed we let the kids open one more gift, from us. Everyone got PillowPets!!! They were a hit! Sam got the penguin she'd been eyeing. Parker got the dolphin (although, he wanted the unicorn for awhile...), and Collin got the dog.

Christmas morning started early. Parker woke up at 12:00 a.m. ready to go! It took us almost 3 hours to get him back to sleep. Crazy kid! We finally got up around 7 and took our time opening gifts. It may not look like we got much under the tree, but in the garage we had a 15ft trampoline waiting for the kids (in the box still!) and a Kinect was in the mix too. Santa came, but we mostly splurged on the bigger gifts. Everyone was happy! After we were dressed and ready for our Christmas day we headed back to Jeremy's parent's house for more Christmas fun.

What a wonderful Christmas! Thanks family!

  2. Thank you for the butt shot, Monique. Just really really reminded me that I really really need to go on a diet. Maybe we should borrow those P90 DVDs... Yuck. I think I will go puke now.
