~ Christmas Fun and other Blunders ~

The big day has come and gone. So much anticipation, lead up and expense...for 27 minutes of paper tearing and mess making and four children with bright eyes.

We did it, we're done.....can't wait until next year.

Our parade of fun began with Christmas Eve at Grandma B's house. This was an event including 8 adults and 6 children. Cookies were decorated, Mexican Train was played. A fun time was had by all.

This is what Mr J did while the older kids were decorating....I'm hoping it's just being funny, but maybe he just needed a moment to himself.

Then home for the sprinkling of reindeer food on the lawn (giant mount of snow) and choosing of cookies for Santa. Then off to bed with the sugar plums dancing.
Christmas morning with the shriek and screams of (the mother) the children as they find what the jolly man has left them. There are way too many pictures of that, so you can image it.

And the main event.......let's get read to Rumble.....Hub in the kitchen, making actual food, that we'll actually eat. It happens once a year, on Christmas morning.

And I know what you're thinking. It's Christmas Morning, post gift opening....why is he showered, dressed and all bright and sparkly. Because the man has shower OCD. He doesn't participate in life without a shower first. Even on Christmas morning. He's in counselling.

Then the rest of the day was pretty much made up like this.

DS playing.....

and more DS playing.

and then the creation of their rockband....they're getting matching tattoos next week.

And then the little man, he was doing his leg lifts.

And what did I receive? Well I've had it for two week...but it was this little sumptuous lump of delight.

So forgive me if the shots are slight out of focus, or a little dark....or anything else. I'm still learning to use it.
