Christmas Day

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at home.  The boys slept in, for them anyway.  We went downstairs and of course it was present time.  Jack was initially disappointed.  He was upset he did not get something he wanted in his stocking. I had to explain that just because you put something on your wish list does not mean you will get it.  He worked hard on choosing things for his Amazon list!  Poor guy, well not really, he got plenty of things and got over the disappointment (besides, he has Christmas money from my aunt and uncle to spend)!

Oma and Opa came over for our tradition mimosa Christmas brunch.  This year I kept it simple, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and pastries from our favorite bakery in the mountains.  Plus of course mimosas and sparkling pear juice.

The boys all loved their presents.  The favorites are Sean's LeapPad from Santa, Jack and Ewan's LeapPad games from Santa, new shoes from Mom and Dad, stuffed cats from Grandma and Grandpa and the remote control cars/trucks from Mom and Dad.  I am enjoying my new iPad from my dear sweet hubby.  I have not had too much time to play with it yet, but eventually I will find the time.  I also look forward to using my new yoga items from my parents, something to help me calm and relax.  The boys are enjoying it too since they got some drawing tools to use on it from Oma and Opa.  It must have been a popular gift though because it took a bit of time to get on the Crayola web site to download the app!!

My personal favorite gift is camp for the boys.  Oma and Opa got the boys four days of camp at the gym.  The boys are having so much fun and I am getting a few things done!!

I am now being tortured by all the post holiday sales. I did not get any gift cards so I am resisting the urge and will not get anything (especially with Jack's hospital bills coming in soon), well other than a couple things Sean and I got with Josh's Amazon gift card that he so generously shared with us.  We had some items we really needed/wanted on our wish lists and did not get them or a gift card so my dear sweet darling hubby kindly shared his. 

The boys were in camp today so I had a chance to clean everything up around the house.  Now I need to go through the toys and sort through everything.  Time for another purge, especially stuffed animals. 

Hope ya'll had a Merry Christmas!

Ready to find their presents!
