An early Christmas celebration

Matching Pj's, even the dogs were dressed to the 9's.
The mousepad Shane received.
Special mickey gloves in our stocking
"I'll have my people call your people!" haha!


Today we celebrated an early Christmas with Mom, Kat, Jon, and Heather (Jon's sis) because they were all heading up to Salinas to see Kat's in-laws for the holidays. We had a nice brunch of apple streusel cake and breakfast casserole and mimosa. We then opened gifts. My favorite was of course our matching Pj's that Mom made. It's a tradition that I love. The boys then woke up from their naps and we opened their gifts too! Aedyn's favorite was the Mickey Mouse play cell phone from Grammy. Instead of doing specific gifts for each other we chose to do a gift exchange. I think everyone's favorite was from Kat and Jon, a personalized mousepad and mug. Shane ended up with this gift which is perfect because the mousepad will replace the one from last year I made for him. We then had some traditional fixin's of ham, scalloped potatoes, and green beans for lunch. The day ended with reading a short reader's theatre play of the story of Christmas that Kat wrote. It was a perfect day of holiday cheer and yuletide glee!
