Merry Christmas!

This year, LB really got into the holiday. He didn't realize that Santa had come and brought presents, but he loved ripping the paper and finding out what was inside. Unfortunately, every present that was opened was a little too intruiging- he would play with that toy and cry and get angry when we took it away to unwrap more. It's like he didn't realize there were more toys to unwrap!

JC was just chilling out most of the time. He doesn't know what's going on, so LB "helped" by opening his presents for him. So cute. We taped most of it, but we're still trying to figure out how to transfer the video onto our computer.... damn PC, we had no trouble with the Mac!

Hubby got to work right away, setting up the toys and putting things together. I cooked a lot today- eggnog french toast w/ eggs for breakfast, then a big dinner- slow cooked ham (SO GOOD!), green beans, butternut squash soup, rolls, salad, and wine. Oh, and can't forget the chocolate cream pie for dessert. This may be my last one, though. I still can't really get it right- it's like my bane. Funny- I can make more complicated stuff, but for some reason success with the chocolate cream pie is elusive. Will be posting recipe for the ham, though. It was the first time I made it, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Of course, we called our families, too. My family was all together, so I got to speak with them all. They really miss the boys. Some longtime family friends of ours happen to live about 14 miles from us, so they invited us over for Christmas Eve. It's funny- I hadn't seen them in 23 years, and they saw the boys, but our own families couldn't!

I'm pretty tired. I'm sure I'll post more when I'm more awake, but it's been a long day. :) The boys were ridiculously adorable, and LB really kept us busy. I hope you all had a good holiday!
