Christmas this year was absolutely wonderful!
On Christmas Eve we have the tradition of opening one present and everyone gets Christmas jammies! Here is the traditional photo of Sean and Tashena in front of the Christmas tree! I spent the night at my parents' house, much to the delight of Sean who wanted to watch the movie Elf. He had it set up in the DVD player all day. He also woke me up early Christmas morning to show me the letter Santa left for him!
Christmas morning!
Santa Claus left us lots of presents!
We draw names for stockings and I drew Tashena. I got her the coveted Nike basketball socks, an iPod case, some headphones, and a gift card to Claire's. Ironically, Tashena drew my name and gave me socks, several bags of my favorite candy cane kisses, brushes, some Burt's Bees lip balm (my favorite), and some storage boxes.
Tashena opening her presents. This year she got a lot of clothes and jewelry!
Her big present was a TV. She was very excited!
It is so fun to watch Sean open presents because he is so excited! He got some Wii games, action figures, clothes, and a remote-controlled helicopter (which he played with all day)!
Sean's big present was an iPod (just like the one Tashena got for her birthday but in Hulk green instead of purple).
My favorite present was a pair of Dr. Martens boots. I got a black pair last year and now I have a brown pair! I love these boots because they last forever! I also got some levis and sweaters, some DVDs, some new snow pants (I can't wait to go snowshoeing), and a Colorado Avalanche phone case!
Marilyn made Sean and Tashena rag quilts! They turned out so cute and they were a big hit!
This is the aftermath! It was such a good day. I am so glad that my family is close and that we can spend holidays together. I am so glad that Sean and Tashena are in our family because they make every holiday so much better. I hope you had a wonderful day filled with family and friends!
