Christmas Eve and Morning

What a wonderful christmas - I just have the most wonderful life! We spent christmas eve with our family - went to church (and enjoyed a live nativity, animals and all), then we picked up chinese for mommy and daddy (3rd year tradition), made the boys dinosaur nuggets (their favorite food), then enjoyed playing outside in the piles of snow, making a snowman and throwing lots of snow at daddy!!! At last we came in an opened gifts - the boys were so much fun - brennan actually got most excited when he opened up a shoe box, and immediately said "new shoos", and still got excited when it was a jersey, and responded with "vikings"!!! Kobe was elated with every gift, and when we tucked him in, he talked about how excited he was for stockings from santa because "you get all the stuff I like, treats and chapstick"!! Christmas morning they were elated over their gifts from "santa", and my sister shari joined us for another tradition of carmel rolls (yes, I LOVE traditions, almost obsessively)!!!
