Merry Christmas!

Christmas is over and i'm exhausted! We ended up moving Christmas up a day at our house this year (and it was decided Thursday around midnight) so we did Christmas eve on Friday and Christmas on Saturday so now we're home today playing with toys and needing a nap. We had a lot of fun though!! It was a great Christmas at our house, once again! Here are some of the highlights:

• Popeye (which is today's name but could very easily change to something else tomorrow) has joined the family and was a gift from mom to dad. A-DOR-ABLE! Mom was unsure how dad would feel about him, but it took all of 30 seconds for dad to fall in love.
  
• The trip to and from picking up popeye with mom and michael, and seeing everyone's faces when they met him!
  
• Christmas Dinner. We changed it up this year. Instead of the same meal as we just had at thanksgiving dinner which is usually what we do again for christmas dinner- we tried a bunch of new mis matched recipes and it was delightful!
• Michael's face when he saw the FREE gift that I won in a raffle drawing at work. An ipad!!!
• Scatagories/Tetris Builderman/Remote Control Helicopter competitions
• Christmas Breakfast- delish!
• Hand & Foot with new recruits
• Audra's first christmas with the family
• Dad has a boat
  

This is what mom and dad's house looked like the last few days....
