Christmas at our house

It seems like we sped through the Christmas season.  We got our tree, put it in the stand and waited a week to decorate it.  The majority of our Christmas decorations and ornaments didn't make it out.  Yes, it was such a hectic season. 

Our church offered a service on the eve of Christmas eve.  We decided to attend that service, which was a very nice candle light service. 

I started not feeling well on Christmas eve.  I managed to get the turkey in the oven and started baking the other dishes to our meal.  By mid-day I knew it would not be possible for me to actually eat dinner.  So the husband cut up the turkey and put away all of the other dishes I had made.  I spent a lot of the day in bed, catching up on the housewives of NJ.  I knew I was going to have to rally for the evening activities.

Can you guess what I got for Christmas?


I got it a little early
 And was able to catch these images of Tee.
 You guessed it, a nice camera.  I wanted to be able to use it for Christmas day.
The annual reading of Twas the night before Christmas!
The normal stop on the step before letting them run to their pile of presents!


Santa visited!

Having fun looking at their presents.

Santa was so nice, he installed the xbox in the playroom.

Mom and baby!

Dad and his oldest sons!
 
There was a bit of a mess when all was said and done.
We had a very nice day.  The boys indulged in all of their gifts and we watched them.  The best part was that we only had to warm up our dinner.

Tee has still been singing some Christmas songs, which seems very funny to me.  He enjoyed hearing the songs on the radio for about the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas.
