Christmas was so much fun. It went way too fast as well. On Christmas Eve we went snow sledding as a family. It was a lot of fun. Kaelen didn't like it very much though. He went down the hill twice and after having snow fly in his face both times he was done. He spent the rest of the time in the car with me. It was fun to watch Enoch, Rachel and Jacob go down the hill though.
In the evening Noal, Wendy, Morgan, Ainsley, Annelise and Boyd came over for a Mexican themed dinner. We had homemade black bean tortillas that were amazing with meat and other things to put into them. Then for dessert we had apple enchiladas which were to die for. So yummy. We of course kept up with traditions and had to act out the nativity. It was fun. Boyd was the Donkey and this year both Mary (Morgan) and Joseph (Jacob) rode on it. Rachel was out wonderful Angel who even say to us. We had two wise women and two shepherds with machine guns instead of shepherd hooks. We also had little lambs this year. One of them was a sleep but the other one crawled around. Didn't want to stay with the shepherds though. Noal was the Traditional narrator. We had a lot of fun.
We also opened presents up from each other and our Christmas Eve PJ's. Rachel got Hannah Montana pj's and Jacob and Kaelen got matching space 'boom boom' pj's.
Christmas morning we got up around 8:30 when the kids finally got us up. Kaelen didn't get up with us. We let him sleep till he wanted to get up. We got some really awesome presents this year. Enoch and Rachel both got new MP3 players. Santa had already downloaded stuff onto them when they opened them. That was a nice surprise. I got a treadmill for Christmas. I was so excited. Jacob got a leapster LMAX. He was excited about that. He plays with it still all the time. Kaelen got some fun bath toys and a car and train. He really loves to push them around the floor. He will either push them or throw them to make them move. Kaelen though enjoyed the bows more than his presents. He would grab every bow he could find off the presents.
Kaelen had a good first Christmas. He had no clue what was going on but sure seemed to enjoy all the toys on the floor, the boxes, bows and other things.
For breakfast we had the most amazing baked french toast. We loved it. It was so sweet and yummy. I think that we will make it a tradition now in our house. We had way too much though.
In the afternoon we went over to Grandpa and Grandma Heileson's to open presents and have dinner. We played games in the evening. It was a lot of fun.
We really loved Christmas this year. It always makes me sad how quickly it comes and go's. I was sad when it was over.
Santa came to visit at the family Christmas party "Grandpa!"
