Christmas!

Here are a few shots from Christmas Eve. The kids each opened a gift that Daddy had picked out for them!

London was very excited to open a Curious George puzzle!

Davis liked his toy as well.

After the kids went to bed, Papa John and Daddy worked together to set up one of London's gifts from Nana.

Daddy hanging out in the finished tent!

London was sooooooooo EXCITED to see this tent by the Christmas tree on Christmas morning!

I think that London is eating her breakfast in the tent in this picture. Whatever she's doing, clearly she's having fun.

We opened our stockings first thing in the morning and then had breakfast before we opened the rest of our gifts.

Davis REALLY loves stuffed animals. Mostly he loves to try and eat them but they do seem to be a favourite for him.

Family Photo!

Uncle Derek and Auntie Jaime gave London her own digital camera for Christmas - she looks very serious here, but trust me, she was so excited about this gift!

Jason deep fried our turkey again this year as he did a couple of years ago.

This is my only picture that I took on boxing day at Eric and Jessica's house. A little fuzzy (surprise surprise) but still fun!

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was awesome and BUSY; although, Christmas is now over a week past and we still seem to be doing a lot of running around. I can't complain, we've had some really great visits with family and friends and I really enjoy being able to do that.

Since New Year's Eve day, I've had a couple of 'kitchen' days and so far have made 4 lasagnas, 3 batches of meatballs, 20 stuffed potatoes, 3 batches of southwestern chili, jambalaya, and a butternut squash and mango soup that thankfully Mom and John like because Jason and I decided that it wasn't to our taste. (Our inferiour pallets could not handle the superior taste:)

I still have to do the preparations for London's birthday dinner and party and then I'm very much looking forward to not spending too much time in the kitchen for a while.

We're really enjoying Jason's extended stay at home and it's really going to suck when he has to go back to work. Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Andrea
