Our Christmas celebration started Christmas Eve going to church with Karen, Luke and Kathryn. We then headed to the Burgess house for Christmas Carols and presents. It is always so fun hearing our out of tune family belt out carols!! :) Our nieces definitely have a great time helping everyone pick out songs. Afterwards we came home and exchanged our gifts to each other. This year we decided to do stocking stuffers and Clay out did himself!! He's always so worried he'll get the wrong thing but he always gets exactly what I want!
Christmas morning started off with me putting my first turkey in the oven. Let me just tell you...that is not a one person job. I had to wake Clay up to help me get it in the oven...that sucker was heavy! 20 pounds of bird isn't easy to maneuver!!! After the bird was settled we went to Karen's for Jesus' birthday cake and presents. Chocolate chocolate chip ice cream at 8:30am is always fun! Haha. At 11:30 Clay's dad came to our house to exchange presents. Then at 1pm everyone started showing up for lunch. I think everyone had a great time! I'm still kicking myself for not taking pictures. Gggrrrr!! Hopefully someone took some. Send them my way if you did!
Don't worry....after that we still had one more stop. It was off to Sugar's at 6pm. We had chili dogs and played some Dirty Santa.
This was definitely the best Christmas yet. We hope to make Christmas at our house a tradition...and maybe one day we can invite more people....we just need a bigger house!
Phew!
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!
Enjoy the last days of 2008....
