CHRISTMAS DAY 2009

So I'm finally ready to post about Christmas Day.  We all got up around 8:30a.m.  And the kids opened their presents from Santa and checked out their stockings.  Then we had our traditional Breakfast Casserole.  We have this casserole 3 times a year, the Sunday morning of General conference and Christmas.  We also have cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate.  Yummy!!  After breakfast everyone opened their presents and then much to my happiness, everyone put their things away in their rooms.  I guess everyone has learned by now how much I hate the clutter of Christmas stuff hanging around for days.  Thanks guys.  I think everyone got everything, well not everything of course, but everything that is reasonable, for Christmas.  Here are a few pictures of Christmas morning.

A picture Steve took of the house when it was snowing, sometime in December.  I think December was the only month we got snow this winter :(

One of my friends gave me this for Christmas.  I think it's extremely funny.  I'm going to keep it out all year long.  Not that it will make a difference whether I eat something I shouldn't or not.

 

After the present opening and lounging around for a while some of us got dressed.  Probably Erica, Nic and Steph.  Probably not me and Steve.  haha.  Then we got on the web cam and watched Shared, Brit, Ethan, and Kylie open their presents from us, and us open our presents from them.  It was fun watching the kids.  Britney and Kylie were sick,  that's not fun.  They gave us some fun things.  Brit and Shared gave Steve and I our Wedding photos they had made into a book.  I was so surprised.  It really means a lot to me and Steve.  We love it.  Thanks for everything you guys.  For dinner we had ham and potatoes and probably munched on a bunch of junk after that.  Yum.  I really can't remember what we did the rest of the night.  But, it was relaxing and fun.

2009 is over now.  I really really really hope 2010 is a good year.  But, what does good mean, right?
