Christmas Eve & Day...

Christmas Eve went really well the kids all had a great time opening their jammies. Every one's fit pretty good except Olivia's was rather long! It's cute though because she hold it up while she's running and it looks stinkin' cute... Here's Emma in her jammies. She said she likes it big which is good because it's pretty big!

Lane's fit great. They're big enough that they'll last a while but not so big that he's swimming in them! He loves the bear's and tractors.

Eliza loves her castles and the fact that it's a "dress". She is always wearing dresses and now that she can wear one to bed too, that makes her very happy.

Olivia was just as happy to have her "princess dress".

Christmas Eve night I was preparing our traditional Christmas breakfast Carmel Ring when I realized I didn't have the Cook n' Serve Pudding that you're supposed to put in it and of course nothing is open that late on Christmas Eve so I just didn't put it in there and it actually turned our pretty good. It wasn't as carmellie as it usually is and was more like Cinnamon rolls but was still yummy.

We stayed in our jammies all day on Christmas which was fun to just relax. This is Christmas dinner all the kids were very excited. I made way to much mashed potatoes but in my book that's a GREAT thing. I love mashed potatoes and it worked well for tonight because I just whipped up some hamburger gravy and dinner was done! Joe baked the turkey like every year and then pulled it apart (YUCK) and then peeled all the eggs so I could make deviled eggs. Emma helped me on Christmas Eve make the pumpkin pie and cherry cheesecake pie. We had a great time together a little mix and matching on new toys for the kids. They like to try everyone else's gifts out for them. Luckily the sharing wasn't too bad. Olivia's favorite toy yesterday was Lane's Spider man 4 wheeler. She spent a ton of time with it.

That about sums it up. Today was catch up and now kids are in bed and it's NICE and QUIET!
