Christmas 2013 Part 2

We made out sugar cookies on Christmas Eve.  The kids have always helped with cutting them out and decorating them!

 Eddie even helps to roll them out sometimes!

As is tradition, they always make on Gingerbread man and then the rest are bells, stars, trees, angels and snowmen.

I am not sure what they like better, cutting them out, decorating or eating!

I always take a picture of them with the gift wrap after they open presents

Some of our gifts were wrapped with newspaper so the kids decided to read the Clarion News!

For Christmas Eve dessert, I made chocolate bowls and filled them with ice cream.  They were tasty!

And of course Kelli and Christmas morning

Eddie got a ping pong set for Christmas and we have had fun playing it.  We set it up on the island in the kitchen, but that was a little small, so we moved it to the dining room.

 Today we decorated our Christmas tree.  Our tradition, is that each year, everyone gets a new ornament and those are the first ones that are hung on the tree.

 Eddie has always asked for a nutcracker every year.  So this year, I got him one!!
