Christmas was so much fun this year at our house! Steve and I have never stayed home for Christmas so this year we decided it was time to make some traditions of our own. Steve worked a short week before the holiday so we had some time to get things organized and ready before the big day came. Christmas eve morning was spent at the mall for me. We had ordered one of Autam's Santa presents online and it didn't show up so I ran there first thing to see if I could pick it up, luckily Journeys Kids still had a pair of pink and brown Heeleys in Autam size. The rest of the day was spent cooking for dinner. After starting the cooking I realized we were missing a few thing for breakfast in the morning so I ran to the grocery store. On the way out I noticed a brown box had been delivered to our house. Great, two pairs of brown and pink Heeleys! Good thing I have the receipt.
We had ham, potatoes, homemade creamed corn (much better than the canned!), my sis-in-laws yummy stuffin' muffins, and for dessert, Santa cookies of course. We decorated the cookies and put he kids to bed. Autam was sure that Santa would not come if she didn't fall asleep fast so she was out quickly. I was shocked it was so fast. Christmas morning I wasthe first one up. Autam had ended up in bed with us, without even peeking at the tree to see if Santa had come! Her and Lauryn were not as excited as I had hoped. They took unwrapping a little slow. Steve and I did not get each other presents this year so we had lots of fun watching the girl's faces! We did get one present for both of us; a new camera to replace the old one in a million pieces. Luck would have it that I erased all the Christmas pics on it while I was trying to figure it out! I did get some on the video camera though. After presents we had the best breakfast; Belgian waffels, bacon and OJ. We took the rest of the day slow, just enjoying being with each other!
