Christmas Day was so much fun this year with two little ones. Bailee completely understood the Santa thing and was so excited for Christmas morning. Unfortunately for Santa, she kept changing what she wanted from the Big Man. She had said that she wanted a new "big girl" bike and that is what we put on her list, but when Santa came for a pre-Christmas Eve visit she told him that she wanted a puppy. Luckily she was happy when Santa spoiled her with a bike and a toy puppy that barks and wags his tail. Owen still didn't know what was going on but thoroughly enjoyed all of the the unwrapping.
We were all spoiled with gifts and most of all by the great company of our families. We had Matt's Parents, my mom and my grandma (GG).
After all of the gifts we relaxed a bit and then started preparing our Christmas dinner. A few years ago we started a new tradition of having a prime rib for dinner. and after the third year I think that we finally have the cooking process down. This year it was delicious! And the leftovers made the BEST french dip sandwiches that I have ever had! Any one that knows me well knows that is my favorite food of all time so it was quite a treat for me... I would even say better than the prim rib it's self.
Bailee loves Tinker Bell and was so excited about this doll.
Matt was surprised with a gorilla pod for all of his outdoor adventures.
Owen loved the xylophone he got.
I have been looking at this way cool spice rack for months and was so excited to get one. I love it! A big thanks to my sister Kristin. ( I actually got two...I really wanted one and told everyone. But Matt's mom took the one she got to use in her own kitchen, we are both lucky girls)
My sister Kristin also gave Bailee this princess tent. She was SOOOO excited and said "I've been begging for this". Which is totally true. She pickup a toy catalog at JC Penny's one day and carried it around for weeks. It had one of these tents in it and every time she saw it she would tell me that she needed one. Leave it to Aunt Kristin to get inside her little mind (I believe that it is a gift she has for gift giving).
Owen was spoiled with Little People and loves them all. He hung on to and sucked on these two packs for almost the whole time of opening gifts.
Here I am putting the prime rib into the oven...I am not sure what I was thinking, but I didn't get a picture of it after it came out of the oven.
