Christmas!!

Christmas Eve, Miss Sarah came over with presents for Lon, Mark and I. Miss Sarah gave Lon the book, Olive the Other Reindeer, Pop-Up, Scratch and Sniff deluxe version! How cool is that? Mark and I now are the proud owners of a Mickey Mouse shaped wreath! It is very cute! We will find a good place to hang it up next year.

Later on, Christmas Eve, after Santa's arrival!

Since Lon is just now starting to learn that ALL presents are not for him (though most are) we still put all the presents out Christmas Eve. This year, Lon helped Daddy wrap the presents for Mommy and we put them directly under the tree. It was tough but he did not open them! Next year we might be able to put out all but Santa's presents as they arrive!

One last look before we went up to bed!

Christmas Morning! Mommy, I got the kitchen with the phone just like I wanted! Oh Santa!! I love you!

All the other presents had to wait till the kitchen was played with for a while. It is a very fun present! Lon is making me lots of good things to eat!

Lon is getting ready for Christmas dinner reading his new Italian cookbook.

Chong, Michelle, Brian and Kayla braved the icy nasty roads to help us celebrate Christmas! Chong thinks we feast every night, but it is just when his family joins us we truly feast!

Chong, the well-fed!

Michelle took this photo of the rest of us!

My beautiful boy

Brian LOVED the new train table. He wanted to do nothing more than play with the trains.

We all had a great time at our Christmas dinner. The roast beast turned out well, the company was wonderful and we all got what we wanted for gifts! Lon was very happy with all his presents! He understands this whole Santa business now! It was wonderful watching him. Mark took lots and lots of movies!
