Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing Christmas this year. It was fun to spend an unhurried Christmas Eve and Christmas day together as a family.

For Christmas Eve dinner we had our families tradition of fondue. It was yummy!

After dinner and our program we all opened up new pajamas. This is how Mackenzie and Steve decided to wear their new pj's! Not sure Steve will be too excited about me posting this picture of him but...

On Christmas Eve before we went to bed Steve and I went around the house and turned all the alarm clocks off that Mackenzie and Brooklyn set the night before! Unfortunately we missed two of them! So at 6:00 a.m. we heard the beep, beep, beep of the alarms and yet we decided to torture the kids and make them wait another hour before they could go down and see if Santa had brought them anything!

Steve with the gift that Brooklyn bought and wrapped for him.

Even Kia got in on all the action of Christmas morning! Here she is with a bow around her neck that Brooklyn tied onto her.

Steve playing the Wii with Brooklyn. As you can see, Steve has to really focus to compete with Brooklyn....

We got a new Wii game called, "Just Dance 2". Mackenzie has had a lot of fun with it. Here she is in a dance competition with Steve. Yes, here's another picture that Steve might not be too excited about me posting - Mackenzie's dance score was only about 10 times higher than Steve's....

We had such a nice Christmas. It was fun to stay in our pj's all day and play with all our new toys. We enjoyed talking with our families on the phone as well. We feel so blessed as a family and we look forward to spending the week between Christmas and New Years together.

Merry Christmas!
