Jack enjoying our delicious Christmas Eve dinner of Tiny Spicy Chicken, Chicken Lo Mein, Hot and Sour soup, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and rice. Mmmmm....
And Cherry Coke Zero....or at least pretending to drink it! :)
Christmas Eve night we opened some cards from Dustin's family, Jack and I opened our traditional present of pajamas, and we watched a couple Christmas movies: "It's a Wonderful Life" and the classic "A Christmas Story."
Jack and mommy showing off their new Christmas Eve pajamas. Yes Patty, they are purple and I even picked them out! :) Dustin got underwear. He does not participate in my pajama tradition! :)
Jack crawling around in his Christmas Eve pjs with a bell in his mouth...now he is full of the Christmas spirit! :)
Christmas morning we got up and my mom made us an amazing breakfast and then we got to dig into all the presents from Dustin's mom and dad and grandma and grandpa! It was so fun and we got wonderful gifts!
Here is Jack ripping into his presents. He really enjoyed ripping the paper off and then really enjoyed seeing what was inside. He didn't seem to understand why he couldn't spend tons of time playing with the toy he just opened. We made him move on to the next present. He loved his presents! He got very spoiled. He got lots of toys, clothes, puzzles, books, ornaments, snow pants, mittens, and boots. Such fun presents!!
Here is Jack giving his new puppy dog a big old kiss!
Jack opening another present. Very serious business.
Dustin opening presents! Dustin got some clothes, a quilt, and money to buy himself a suit and a garment luggage bag.
Here I am with the awesome and so cute tree skirt that Dustin's grandma made. I am always so lucky to be the lucky recipient of the talents of Dustin's grandma. She has made me table runners, quilts, framed cross stitch things, etc. She is amazing. She also made Dustin the coolest blanket for Christmas this year. She took all of his old T-shirts from high school and college and made a T-shirt quilt. I can't wait to have her make one for me too! :) I also got lots of cute sweaters, jewelry, etc. and I the whole Harry Potter book set. Yay!
Dustin and I VERY happy about the awesome gifts we received. We all got very wonderfully spoiled! :)
Daddy and Jack reading Jack's new "K-State 101" book. Jack is now a pro at finding the page with Willie the Wildcat and pointing him out to us.
While we were eating lunch, Jack went into the other room and found all his books and toys and had a grand old time playing with all of them! :)
Jack modeling his new shirt and his new boots that light up and where so cool that when Jack saw them he said, "Wooooow!!"
Our little family getting ready to go on a Christmas Day drive and to see some family!
It was a wonderful Christmas and we feel truly blessed to have two wonderful families that love us so much, support us, and spoil us good! :)
For New Year's we went over to a friend's house and had some good times, good food, good laughs, and Jack enjoyed bringing in the new year from his pack-n-play in the bathroom. (The only room left without other children.) It was a nice way to bring in the new year and it was nice to finally spend a New Year's Eve and Day with my husband! :) Sorry I forgot the camera....
It has been a wonderful year and we look forward to all that 2009 will bring! Happy New Year! May we all meet the resolutions we have set! :) Me especially!
