Christmas Morning

This was Brennan first thing on Christmas morning. He's sportin' his new jammies he opened the night before from Aunt Kristen.

We hope everyone had a nice Christmas. We sure did. Thank you Dad, Mom, Brent, Lori, and Brian for coming. We enjoyed having you all here. It made for a very nice Christmas. We did all the normal traditions. We had soup and sour dough bread for dinner, mom made rice pudding (Brent had the almond, Sorry Dad maybe next year), Brent made sugar cookies (even though we didn't end up rolling them out till Thursday night at Lori's), and Lori and Brent made Christmas rings, which were delicous. Jason's family tradition is to wake up early on Christmas morning, which you all know is not our family's. He was awake by 5:00 ready to go. I asked him to stay in bed till at least 7:00, but he couldn't wait that long, so he got up at 6:30 and started making us all breakfast of eggs, hashbrowns, sausage. Everyone was up by about 7:00. We had a very nice breakfast first, since it was already, then we dived into presents. Everyone got such nice things. The biggest hits were Jason's and Mom's calenders and Mom's cute little puppy from Brian! Brennan was happy to finally get his dinosaur toys which he'd been asking for all month and to get the DVD "Happy Feet", to which he gave the best reaction to. After all the presents were opened, of course we ate some more. The rest of the day we just hung out, did a new puzzle, played Jason and I's new board game, watched DVD's and of course, ate some more. We hope all of you who weren't with us had just as nice of a Christmas. We wish we could have all been together! Next year hopefully we will be!

This is a video of Brennan opening Aunt Sheryl Lynn's present! Thanks Sheryl Lynn!

Here is the present from Grandma Twede. He has loved playing in it. We just need a bigger house now with a big play room to fit all of his new toys!
