Christmas!!!!!

This year we had Christmas with the Pizzey's. On Christmas Eve we hang out with the Pizzey extended family. We eat hoagies (not sure if that's how it's spelled but it like make your own sandwich buns), drink slush, and eat lots of dessert foods. Then we play games, read and act out the Nativity. Exchange a "cousin draw" gift and a gift from our Nana Pizzey. It's lots of fun!

Once the Pizzey extended family leaves for the night, we open up our one gift from my mom, which always ends up being PJ's every year! Usually we match somehow, then we play games with just our family. This year everyone from my family was home, so there was 12 of us plus 2 dogs. Christmas morning we wake up open stockings and the rest of gifts. Then we have a massive breakfast which consists of pancakes with berries and whipped cream on top, and some egg omelet thing, chocolate milk and orange juice! SOOO YUMMY! Jason was also to good to me this year. He doesn't mind not being surprised but he knows I love to be surprised so he makes an effort to hide my presents. It's not really about the gifts we get but just his thoughtfulness impresses me. He's the best husband and I need to tell him that more often!

My parents got us a vitamix blender. If you don't know what that is, it's an amazing blender that can make ice cream, soups... well basically anything! Also we were lucky enough to find the treadmill Jason wanted at Costco a week before Christmas. We've been really spoiled/ blessed this Christmas.

Christmas Day afternoon my moms side, the Johnsons come over. We open a few gifts, mostly for the little kids (which this year since we had Talia, we were opening gifts for her). After we have a massive turkey dinner and dessert. Then we play games for the rest of the night.

The next few days we hung out at my parents and since my parents moved into there dream house in May we were able to enjoy all there toys. Mostly the boys played pool, we watched movies in there theatre room, went on a walk, and enjoyed the hot tub.

It was a lot fun and nice to stay over for a few nights. Although I must say it is a lot harder travelling with a baby. It's nice to be home so she can get back on schedule and sleep in her own crib... and NOT in our room! It was a lot of fun and glad that everyone was home for Christmas. We look forward to spending Christmas next year with the Lows. All 8 kids, 5 spouses, and 6 grand kids will be home. That makes 21 people under one roof! CRAZY!!!!

Acting out the Nativity. Jason and I were Mary and Joseph... and yes Talia was baby Jesus. She was being a pretty fussy baby Jesus. I think she might have been over tired and it was just to loud for her.
