Christmas Day

I can't believe that Christmas was a week ago and the decorations are now put away! Crazy, how quickly it goes! Our Christmas Day started out with some awesome family time with breakfast and opening presents. Who would have thought that Ethan's new crayons would be the prize of the day (all he wanted to do was color!). . . until he opened his bright blue Thomas train! He had so much fun. Then we took advantage of the lack of rain (it has been a tad wet around here lately), and took Ethan out in his PJ's to try out his new tricycle. He had so much fun riding it around our cemented area. Then, it was time for us to get ready. Jon's "Big" family Christmas (immediate and extended family gathering) was at noon. We ended up having some time to spare, so in popped Toy Story 3 until we had to leave.

Big Christmas was at Jon's Aunt Debbie's house this year. It started out a bit on the crazy side (actually funny) because Matt and Lisa were supposed to pick up Dan, but their Prius wouldn't start and was blocking their other car. So, Matt started riding his bike over and then Jon and Jeff went to go pick him up. Then it was decided that they were also going to go and pick up Matt, Lisa, and Everett because they needed to be there, too. So everyone started eating while this was going on.

After everyone had finally arrived and eaten we started the festivities of the day. . . so much fun. Then there was a birthday celebration and desserts (But I will post that later, because it's another funny story!).

The argyle cousins. . . Everett and Ethan. They both wanted to play with Aunt Debbie's kitchen toys. Ethan was unfortunately not in the sharing mood (lack of nap), and Everett really wanted to play with Ethan.

Rockstar biking!
