Christmas

Ok, so this post will be mostly pictures, but here's how Christmas went for us. We had a great time and received way too many generous presents.

Here is our Christmas tree. We thoroughly enjoyed it and Emerson had so much fun this year looking at all the decorations and picked out his very own new Sponge Bob tree ornament.


We all went to the Weiss' house for dinner on Christmas Eve. Brent and I both worked until lunch time, then took the afternoon off to run errands and get ready for dinner. I made a chocolate torte that went over very well and I had to sneak the leftovers out of the house!!!
Here is Brent taking something Dad is saying with a bit of scepticism and Mom and Dana laughing about something.

Bill, Emerson and Kaia are watching "Cars" of course.
Alex decided to partake in the "Cars" action.

On Christmas day, Emerson woke us up at his usual time of 6:15 and even though we were all a bit blurry eyed, we opened presents together. Emerson received a tricycle, Diego action figures, a Boise State Football Mr. Potato Head and lots of clothes. I gave Brent a new wetsuit for waterskiiing in the summer, but he won't let me post the picture of him after he tried it on.






After we had our own little Christmas at home in the morning, we went over to my parents' house for our annual traditional brunch. The egg sausage soufflé was to die for and we opened even more presents. Emerson got a Lightning McQueen laptop from his grandma and grandpa that he loves! He isn't quite old enough to use it fully yet, but he loves the sound effects anyway. One of the wheels is the mouse!!!


After brunch, we went to Brent's parents house and opened even more presents and had dinner. Emerson got some oh so cute Lightning McQueen pajamas (find the theme yet?) from his granny and oupa that he can't live without.

Since Christmas was on a Thursday, Brent and I took Friday off and the three of us and Spike just goofed off all day, as you can tell from the pictures below...



Well that is our Christmas in pictures. I hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday as well!!!
