Christmas Recap

Christmas Eve Dinner
This is no small event!   John's Brother Jordan headed up a fantastic Christmas Eve dinner that consisted of French Onion Soup, Steak, Shrimp and all the fixins including Crab Legs (all the way from Calgary;)!
He knows how to put on a meal-that's for sure.    Afterwards the kids entertained us with a hillarious, occasionally spiritual rendition of the Nativity.       After that we drove around and looked at lights for a bit and then came home to get all ready for Santa.   Christmas jammies, hot chocolate, carrots for the reindeer and a note to Santa with a plate of cookies and milk was the perfect way to finish a great night!


Christmas Day
The kids were elated and thrilled with their gifts.   They were ridiculously spoiled, almost to the point of complete embarrassment.   I'll remember to not go overboard next year;)  


Afterwards we met up with John's siblings for some traditional breakfast pizza, went to church and pretty much enjoyed the day in the most lazy way possible.    John fell in love with baby Justin, Libby spent hours applying (and re-applying) her new make up on Jessica, and Sam spent the day playing Lego Star Wars on the wii.    
Such fun!
