We had a wonderful holiday here at our house. We all got spoiled and enjoyed every minute of it. We celebrated on Christmas Eve at my parents house so that Charyn could be there. Parker hadn't had a nap all day and finally fell asleep at 6 in the evening. I didn't want him sleeping long because then he wouldn't sleep thru the night. When we woke him up to open presents he was not a happy boy. It took him a while unwrapping a few presents to finally wake up. I think both Matt and I got everything and more that was on our Christmas lists.
On Christmas day we opened some gifts from "Santa" and enjoyed a brunch at my parents house. After that we went to Matt's mom's house for a little while and visited with her. Then we went to Matt's aunt's house and all his cousins and aunts and uncles were there. We do an annual white elephant gift exchange. You are supposed to bring a gift for everyone praticipating. So for us 1 girl gift and 1 boy gift (The kids do their own exchange drawing names). I thought it would be hilarious to regift the present Matt ended up with last year, a Chia Pet. There were a few hot items that kept on getting passed around, but when the Chia Pet got opened, no one wanted to trade with that. It was pretty funny. After a great time there we went to Matt's dad and stepmom's house and yet a again got spoiled. We sure had a great time spending the day with family and loved ones. It is such a fun time of year to really celebrate what is important in our lives!!!
