Christmas Eve and Christmas have always had really big traditions for us so his year was no different. Ethan and I made gingerbread cookies for Santa because apparently gingerbread cookies are what Santa wants to eat lol, so we cut them out, baked them, and then decorated then, Ethan had a great time making them and even ate a couple in the making process lol
Star had to go to the groomer before we went over to Auntie and Uncle house so she could be all pretty and smell good so we took her to the groomer and while she was gone I made banana bread as well as a veggie pizza for our snacks for later that day and then it was time to pack the car. Once we got to Mike & Angela's we were ready to start eating and relaxing. We had so much food it looked like we were feeding an army but omgosh was it so good. There was everything from hot wings, veggies, egg rolls, tortilla soup, banana bread, chocolates and so much more. Once Taylor got back from her dads house we let the kids open one present and we all just sat around hanging out and telling old stories that made us crack up like always, around 1030 the kids went to lay down and Santa visited the house around 1100ish, after a little longer Shauna and I went to bed however we had no idea how uncomfortable an air mattress was actually going to be lol so she slept about an hour that night and myself about two and a half hours the rest of the time we just laid there listening to Pandora and having a little party on our mattress lol Then it was wake up time.......
Christmas Day-
Christmas day started about 7am with the whole family waking up and gathering in the living room, Ethan was very excited that he got all of his Transformer Rescue Bots from Santa and he loved the rest of his gifts from everyone, mommies, auntie & uncle, grandma & papa he was very very stoked with what he got. He started playing with some of it and kept playing all morning with it. We put Star in her Christmas dress but apparently she is no longer a L and she was busting out of her seams lol The gifts that we all got from each other were perfect and was so nice to see that everyone loved what they got especially mom and dad.....We had been keeping a secret from them since Nov where we had a photo shoot with the kids and put their pictures in a frame that said Grandkids it made them both tear up and was perfect ;) After all the clean up and hanging out we had Christmas breakfast which was amazing and then it was time to relax a bit and then it was time to head home, we loaded up the car came home and started putting together all of Ethan's gifts and organizing his room however about 4pm we were ready to take a nap lol We didn't have a Christmas dinner which kinda sucked but we still had each other. :) It was a great Christmas, oh and McKenzie got her first gift......a piggy bank with her name on it yay!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!! ♥
