This year for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner we had lobster, prime rib, baked potatoes, spinach salad, yogurt salad, and rolls. It was all delicious and we all were stuffed after dinner. The kids could hardly take waiting until after we got the table cleared off and the dishes done to open their presents. After sorting out all the gifts into piles of who they would go to we started opening gifts. This year we did it differently having each person open 1 gift and then going around the room from youngest to oldest so that we could all see what everyone opened. Ususally there is so much wrapping paper and boxes flying around that we miss seeing half of what people open. So we tried something new this year. It did end up taking a little longer, but it was fun to see all the excitement and expressions on everyones faces as they opened each gift. Once again we were all spoiled and had such a great time together. We really do have a great family. This year Paxten got: A church outfit, a play outfit, a twin mattress (for the bunk bed), twin sheet set, dino racer, socks, drum set, RC & Woody car, Cars couch, elmo pop-up tent, bubble bath, cars slippers.
