The kids opened their stockings and Alyssa quickly remembered the joy of opening presents. Dad stayed Christmas Eve night so that we could have a relaxing morning and not have to wait for him to drive up from Morgan Hill.
Looking good Tyler!
Dad and I made our traditional holiday breakfast (eggs benedict) and finally, after 13 years, Tyler has decided that he enjoys them as well. I can't remember when this tradition started because I know that I was little but we have made them every holiday (the main four) for as long as I can remember unless we go out for brunch. Interestly enough, I love them so much I only have them four times a year and if we go out to eat. Not sure why I don't make them on any other morning. Speaking of traditions, I recieved the Evelskiver pancake pan for Christmas and I used it this morning to make yummy litlle Danish pancakes. I have to admit it was fun to do and I think my family enjoyed them. I know this little pan will prove to be quite useful considering the possibilities are endless.
Alyssa was thrilled and immediately asked us if she could put on Ariel necklace. She does love her jewerly! Today, we put in her Alyssa CD and she was so excited to hear her name on the CD all 50 times! Her Hannah doll finally got a highchair which is great considering it has been 2 years since she received the doll. Her babyhood lasted a long time! Tyler's big present was the Wii accessories (we are too cheap to buy the Wii console, maybe next year ; ) ) and stuff for school. Frankly, I wanted him to stop using my printer so Santa bought one for his computer. Thank you Santa!
Buddy Joe amazingly knew that I was getting tired of ready Percival the Beautiful Butterfly every day for nap so he bought her 3 new books. They were instantly a hit however she now wants a Unicorn. (Hint to Santa for 2008).
Hope you all enjoyed some holiday magic of your own yesterday!
