Christmas Day 2008

"Wake up Reagan........it's CHRISTMAAAAAS!!!!!" Mason screamed from the top of his lungs around 7:00 a.m. this morning. Thanks for the wake up call, son! We all got up and ventured into the living room to see if Santa came.

The looks on their faces was PRICELESS!!!

Santa brought Mason a NERF N-Strike Vulcan, the one thing he really, really wanted. He was so excited, but unfortunately it jams like every 1.5 seconds. Seriously!! Who approved this toy to be on the market??? I digress. Santa brought Reagan a huge wooden dollhouse and, as you can see, she was thrilled!!

After the kids checked out what Santa had brought, we moved on to opening the rest of our presents. We all got everything we wanted.....and then some!!

After we opened all of our presents, I made a delicious hashbrown casserole for breakfast and then I started cooking our Christmas meal. I was aiming for a 1:00 lunch, but in true Wendi style, it was served at 2:00. Fashionably late, as ususal. We had ham, turkey breast, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, biscuits and pumpkin pie. Everything was made from scratch, except for the biscuits.....thanks Bisquik!! Not to pat myself on the back (wink*wink), but it was all fabulous!!!

Our friend Bogale joined us and after lunch, we spent the rest of the evening playing Guitar Hero and Boom Blox (this game is seriously FUN!!). It was a perfect, low key and relaxing Christmas day. And I got to spend it with the people I love most......what more can you ask for?? Merry Christmas!!

Doing what they do best!!
