Well, another Christmas has come and gone.  In the blink of an eye, or so it felt.  Joyce came to visit, then Barney, then mom and dad, and we all did our usual celebrating.  We missed Rosy and the Johnson side of the family this year.  Hopefully we can be a bigger crowd again next year!

Once again we did Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma’s house.  Delicious soup, bread, salad, and pizza.  Yum, YUM!  Crazy kids, wild rides down the stairs, stories, giggles, fun.  Christmas morning Alan, Lex, and I were up at 6am, as usual.  We opened Lex’s stocking, ate breakfast, and eagerly awaited Eve’s waking.  She finally got up at 7:45, just in time for her stocking and a quick breakfast before we headed to church.  We went to a beautiful church with nice music, beautiful decorations, and lots to look at.  Lex got squirmy near the end, but overall I think they both did really well.  Eve seems to love church.  She talks about it a lot and loves the music.  Then back to our house for presents!  Fun, fun.  Lots of good stuff, candy, toys, socks, and super cool calendars.  Wrapping paper everywhere.  Then I kicked everyone out so I could nap the kids (ok, really because I needed a break!)  I did a little tidying and started prepping for dinner.  This year I made lasagna and Barney made the turkey.  It was a pretty delicious meal.  Of course.

Today we spent unwinding, digging out the living room, running many loads of dishes, and eating chocolate.  That will be “disappearing” soon!

I put all of the pictures up on my Picasa account.  Check it out!
