Our Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. We actually had 3 different Christmases - Chris' family on Christmas Eve morning, our family on Christmas Day morning and my family on Christmas Day afternoon.

On Christmas Eve morning, we had Chris' family over for breakfast and to open presents. I made this Mixed Berry French Toast casserole, it was yummy! Then we opened presents, which was a little crazy with 4 kids and 7 adults! Then we all headed downstairs to play Chris' sister's new Wii. Brayden and Logan even enjoyed playing. I only got a few pictures from this day becuase we were all having so much fun together! Christmas morning we stayed home and had our Christmas as our family. This is the first year I can remember having Christmas morning for ourselves, at least since we have had kids! It was very relaxing and enjoyable, I hope we can set aside that time every year!! We opened presents and then Chris and the boys put together Lego's and played while I made breakfast. We just had a lazy morning, we weren't all even dressed until close to lunchtime. After Preston's nap we headed over to my parent's house to open presents and eat dinner. It isn't very often that me and my family and all my sisters and their boyfriends/husbands can get together, so it was good to see them all again. My mom made a turkey, kind of like another Thanksgiving dinner - it was good! Then we all just hung out and played games.
We were all exhausted by the end of Christmas day, but we had a good time visiting with family and being together to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
