Merry Christmas 2009!

Christmas was a fun filled day of great presents, yummy food, & lots of family time! Isabella was excited to come see what Santa brought in the morning & luckily for us she doesn't yet have the ability to purposefully wake up early so we got enough sleep. I think Jackson was awake before her!

Isabella got a train set for Christmas which was on her wish list. Jackson got a bunch of toys he can chew on! Isabella got Jackson a toy drum to beat on which plays music & lights up. Jackson got Isabella a dog chase (pictured above with the red slides & white stairs). She had been wanting a toy similar to this with penguins so she was excited to get a dog one. Lots of other fun toys were received like a princess swan castle, craft supplies, a hand-held video game, play-doh, hi-ho cherry-o, an apron & hot mits, & cute clothes for Isabella. A ball popper, a rolling ball, a walking toy, a baby swing for the swingset, animals, a soldier bowling set & cute clothes for Jackson.

I was pretty spoiled this year with a new macbook computer, an air popcorn popper, a mandolin, a gift card to the aveda spa for a massage (from Isabella & Jackson), clothes, & few other cooking gadgets. Mike had gotten his iPhone as an early Christmas present & then he got an Xbox game, boots, a sweater, & some other small things. (Can you tell who over spent their gift giving budget??)

We had a yummy breakfast of chocolate croissants, bacon, eggs, & some freshly made grapefruit juice. Yum! We skipped lunch (after our large breakfast) & then had dinner at my mom & dad's where we had yummy rolls, roasted vegetables, deviled eggs, & ham. Delish!

We purchased a fontanini kid-friendly nativity set this year and Isabella enjoyed learning about the story of the birth of Jesus and playing with the nativity. I put away the baby Jesus so that we could put him in the manger on Christmas & Isabella was very distraught when she found out he was missing & wouldn't really take my explanation as a good reason for his disapearance. So she was happy to be able to put him back on Christmas day.
