We spent Christmas Eve with my parents for "Soup Supper." I actually got up the courage to try the Oyster Stew this year--not too bad. After soup, we had the Exstrom gift exchange: Dan and I walked away with two bottles of Whiskey, one bottle of Grey Goose and some mini martini glasses. Needless to say, we are re-naming it the booze exchange. The girls received some books and light-up ladybugs that project stars on the walls and ceiling for bedtime. They are REALLY neat.
On Christmas morning, we woke up to LOTS of snow. We got up and opened presents with the girls, and then we decided to head over to Dan's parents' house for Christmas brunch. We weren't sure if we were going to make it or not, but the Rav didn't disappoint. It would have been a big bummer to miss out on those cinnamon rolls. Natalie got her ballerina music box/jewelry box and was thrilled.
Then we made the trek back over to my parents place for...MORE food. It was like Thanksgiving all over again: Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, broccoli cheese, and cranberry sauce. You get the picture. Dan received Super Mario Bros. Wii and we have been keeping busy playing that together.
We are looking forward to wagon rides to the park this spring and summer!
Christmas is fun!
We received our very own Pollyanna board!
