Christmas 2009

Last year we started a new tradition while still keeping old ones. Now that we have little ones, it is much easier Christmas morning to stay at home. This way the kids can wake up, enjoy the fun Santa gift and stockings and not have to rush out of the house. We also have a family traditional breakfast of Spanish Omelet Sauce Eggs, Mimosas and Weinachtsbrot. So I have started hosting the family breakfast myself and really enjoyed it and so far the Weinachtsbrot has come out successfully every year. It was fun to have everyone at the house and watch the girls open their gifts from other family members. Mom got us all Christmas colored fleece shirts and we had fun taking some pictures. Emma got her horse from Santa (thank you Costco!) and Angel got a musical instrument set which she is THRILLED with (hoping my ears hold up!). It was fun this year to watch the girls get so excited about all the festivities!! Later in the day we head over to my parents house and enjoy time with family and then have a prime rib feast complete with Yorkshire Pudding for dinner. Hope you had a wonderful and Merry Christmas as well!!
Shocked and excited that Santa left gifts, they were frozen!
Emma was fascinated that the milk, cookies and carrots were GONE!!
Amazed that the stockings were all full!!
