Happy Birthday Jesus, and Merry Christmas everyone!
Our day started early. Brandon and I beat the kids up so that we can get the fire and coffee started. We then went up stairs woke up the kids, and told them Santa had come. The little ones were so excited, they both went to the window and looked out to see if they could see him. After putting them to bed last night, Brandon went outside and yelled HO HO HO. So this morning they told us they heard Santa come last night, it was so stinking cute and we got it on video.
After the wake up call we all came down stairs and opened presents, presents and more presents. With every present Aubrynn opened we would ask her "what is it" and she would replied "I don't know" it was funny because she wouldn't tell us what she got until every single piece of wrapping paper was off. Then at that point she would shout in excitement what it was, then tell us "Thank You mommy and daddy". Aubrynn's favorite gift this year was her leapfrog or as she calls it her "video game".
As for Braden, he just shouted what everything was as he was unwrapping it. His favorite toy is Buzz Lightyear. Now Brycen on the other hand got everything he wanted, and was surprised when he opened his remote control car. We psyched him out by telling him they were sold out everywhere and even went as far as showing him how it was sold out online, so he would believed us. I would have to say without doubt that is his favorite thing this year. Brandon's favorite's is his cologne and mine is my totally cool Camo Chi iron. I just love it! I am so glad to have a Chi iron again, mine finally bit the dust about a month ago, and I am in love again :)!
After all the gifts were all opened I made breakfast croissant, and they were so good. I then cleaned up the kitchen and we all took a nap. I don't think Aubrynn slept at all, she just played with her toys in her room quietly. After our naps we got dressed and I then put the turkey and started cooking the all the sides.
My brother and his girl friend came over and within minutes had a coke explode on his new white shirt. After that I put on my apron so I would not be the second victim of a white shirt tragedy. About an hour later my Dad and Pat arrived and hung out, opened more gifts and snacked on food. By 6pm the food was ready and we had an awesome Turkey dinner with all the fixings. Pat made a delicious fruit pie which we had for dessert. And yet again we watched the Cowboys lose :(
So need I say we are exhausted. The kids are happily snuggled in their beds surrounded by their new toys, and Brycen went home with my parents for a couple of days while he is still on Christmas break. I'd have to say we had a pretty awesome day, I hope you had one too! So until next year Merry Christmas Y'all!
