Christmas 2009

We did Christmas different this year- at first it was a little hard to think of not going home, but it actually turned out really perfect :) We started out with Christmas Eve with Mindi, Gaige, Jane, and Jonah's house. We had some delicious soups and desserts, read the Christmas story, and opened pajamas and gifts from eachother. The next morning, we woke up at our house and opened presents. It was very nice, calm, and relaxing. After presents, we made a big breakfast of french toast and bacon and then opened up our stockings. Believe it or not, Ava was totally done with opening presents by the time we got to our stockings and we ended up opening her stuff in her stocking! We ended our Christmas day with a fabulous dinner at Benihana. Sawyer slept through pretty much all the day's activities, which was good- especially at Benihana so that we could limit any germ exposure :) We had such a good time making new family traditions and thought it turned out really fun!

Our only picture from Christmas Eve....


Our presents- thanks to both our families for the great gifts! We were totally spoiled












I wasn't trying to pose so lamely for this picture, but it shows my great headband, "team Luke" shirt, jacket, and Uggs I got from my parents



Luke's new Spy sunglasses- he was totally surprised and really excited!
