A Very Merry Christmas

Yet another year that Christmas has come and gone in what seemed like the blink of an eye. The boys were so much fun this year and so excited! Family on Christmas Eve 2009.
Victor's family came over Christmas Eve and got their Rock Band on while we were waiting for dinner. The prime rib turned out spectacular and I think we have found our new Christmas Eve dinner tradition. I found a Gingerbread Lazatone recipe from Martha Stewart for desert. Although it looked pretty it wasn't very good. I think I will do a red velvet cake next year.

Gingerbread Lazatone


My cute little Santa cleaned the entire kitchen after our big dinner and handwashed all of my china!

The boys opened their one Christmas Eve present and I have never seen anyone so excited to get new PJs as Zack was. He was so cute the moment he opened it he was trying to pull the PJ top on. He said, "Oh new jamas! I love them!"

They threw out their reindeer dust to make sure Santa came to our house first then Conner read The Night Before Christmas to his brothers. It was so fun. Zack was totally into it.

Throwing Reindeer dust.

Christmas morning was a blast! The reactions to some of the gifts made my whole year! Zack and Mason received a Cadillac Escalade. Zack kept going over and patting the hood of the car and saying. "Ohhhhhh that myyyyyyy car!!!!!" And Mason wouldn't get out of it. It was so funny he sat in the car and opened all of his gifts, we couldn't get him out of there.
Victor was pretty cute this year too. He always gets just as excited as the boys but I think he usually has some sort of clue as to what gifts I got him except this year. I got him a .22 gun and kept it hidden in the garage until we were all done opening presents (Christmas Story style!) then I went out and got it. Victor was totally surprised and his expression was priceless! I also got him a Garmin 405 watch. If you are a runner this thing is awesome! Victor has been really funny about it too. He talks nonstop about the cool stuff it does and despite some good snow storms and lots of slush he is still out running just because he wants to use his new watch. Funny boy.
I hope every one's Christmas was as Merry as ours!
