Christmas!!

Christmas Day

Well, I haven't been keeping up with my countdown to Christmas very well.  Maybe that will be one of my resolutions next year...Anyway, Christmas was great! Chase knew what to do when he saw the presents after the Christmas Eve present opening extravaganza.  However, he was not in a hurry....he had to eat his breakfast first.  

Robert and I got our part of the dinner made (without the sweet potatoes) without too much trouble.  I did forget the gravy and luckily mom could find some gravy mix at Walgreens, who would of thought you could get that at Walgreens?  My side of the family came up (except for one uncle and aunt b/c my uncle had the flu) and we enjoyed some good ham, turkey and all the fixins.

Mimi and Grandpa got Chase his very own recliner.  He was a little reluctant at first, but later he just wanted to be one of the guys.

We opened more gifts.  I still haven't finished my gifts to everyone. I've been working on a family cookbook, but it has gone slower that I had thought.

Chase got a leap frog Potsy and learned how Great Uncle Bob could juggle.  But with Chase's OCD tendencies, he HAD to juggle the broccoli, corn and tomato.  He still wants just to play with those three and have me juggle (which I can't do, but need to learn I guess).  

It's wonderful to have such a great family. Thankful that Katie could come in from New Mexico! Wish all the "kids" could have been here!

Even with the fun of presents and food, we still remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season.  Merry Christmas!
