Christmas

Everything started on Christmas Eve when we made sugar cookies (tried a new recipe, which is really good, but it was a pain to make the cookies, the dough was SUPER sticky) and had a delicious ham, potatoes, pretzel jello salad, vegis & roll dinner with another couple in the ward that the kids (and we) love.  After dinner the kids got to open their first gift of pajamas and slippers.

Chirstmas this year was very low key.  The kids didn't wake up until 8am, that is after Megan woke up at 4am checking out all the presents and saying she couldn't go back to bed... luckily she did.  So up at 8 as the fun began.  After attempts of getting pictures of the kids in front of the Christmas tree, with Bryson who didn't want to participate, we started opening presents.

Before

Unwrapping

Connor did pretty good unwrapping this year.  He only opened a couple of gifts that weren't his, but he was more interested in getting the wrapping off then the gift he was opening.  None of his made noise like Bryson's.

The Gifts

Playing in the wrapping paper. 

Connor loved it, Bryson didn't want anything to do with it.

Megan's gifts

Her favorites: pillow pet, My generation doll & roller blades.

Bryson's gifts

His favorites: firetruck, tractor, bike & r/c car

Connor's gifts

His favorite: The panda (which he went straight to when you came out to the presents) or any of Bryson's toys.  Bryson played with Connor's toys more than he did.

After all the presents were opened we made a yummy breakfast of Chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, bacon and cinnamon rolls.  The rest of the day was spent in our pajamas, playing with new toys, talking to family on the phone and web cam, watching movies and just relaxing.
