CHRISTMAS!

Oh we had such a great day! Ina stayed over Christmas Eve and we stayed up til 2:30 working on last minute gifts and wrapping. When Noah woke up at 4 and 7 we were zombies! But, after the family showed up and our house was BOMBARDED by presents, we had so much fun! We let Noah go first and just kept piling presents on him. Poor guy got upset because every thing he saw had to be surgically removed from its package and took forever. He must have opened 40 presents! But then we saved our tricycle for last and he loved it so much. He just kept sitting on it and saying "ride it ride it" and we would push him around the house. sooo sweet!!! Then Noah took a nap and the adults exchanged gifts which was also so much fun! Paul got his banjo! I am so excited for him -- what a cool gift!! Eric got an infrared cooker and then we made our steak for dinner in it! Everyone was so happy and just glad to be together. I was still a little under the weather and tired but I enjoyed it all so much I didn't mind!

After everyone left, Eric and Crissy stayed and played the Wii and just relaxed with us. We feel so lucky to have them as friends as well as relatives!
