Well, it has come and gone already. Christmas was fabulous this year and it is about time I wrote a serious post!
The Christmas season began with our traditional 12 days of Christmas. Matt's family always did it growing up and it was fun to do with Keldrie. I surprised Matt and did it for him too!
One of Kel's presents was some new crayons and she could hardly wait to try them out. Most of the gifts were just small things, but Keldrie always asked in the morning if she was going to be getting a present today.
One thing that made this Christmas extra special was that Nicole and her family were able to visit! Hudson was lots of fun and Keldrie thinks that Uncle Cameron is the coolest! He was always willing to play with her.
And we also found out this trip that Hudson is going to be a big brother in July! Hooray for more cousins!
Next up was Gaby's Annual Party! We had a great time, as always! The food was fantastic. Gaby makes the most wonderful stuffing. I look forward to it all season long. The only disappointment was that poor Amanda was so sick and couldn't come.
Another favorite thing there is the sparkling cider! Always makes something seem more special.
We drew Eric, Jenny and their three kids for our gift this year. I picked up Battleship and Operation. I thought the two older boys would really like it.
Well, Luke, who was a week away from his 6th birthday, didn't
understand that Operation was just pretend and that no one got hurt. So
out it came so that the boys could examine it and the next day, Jenny
let me know that the boys had gotten over it and were enjoying their
game.
Jenny and Eric drew our name for Christmas too and they gave us movie money and we gladly used them to go see The Hobbit on Christmas Evening. Awesome!
The highlight of the evening was when the boys gave Elaine her birthday gift, which was season tickets to the theater.
Right after that, we gave Steve and Elaine their Christmas gift, which was a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Eric told them they would have to practice their sharing. They had a hard enough time taking turns looking at it there at the party. Steve had a disadvantage because his arm is in the sling.
Well that is Part One of Christmas this year!
