I love Christmas. It's so wonderful to see family and share time, love and joy. We had a really great day today, but it was pretty non-stop. I was up until midnight last night getting things ready for this morning. Ryan chose last night of all nights to be up until 10:45! It was not an easy night. With the help of my mom, dad, brother and husband we managed to pull off a pretty good Christmas day. I was up this morning at 7 getting stuff ready for brunch before the kids got up. The kids got up and we had round one of presents. Then Jay's whole family came over and since my family is all here we had all of our closest relatives with us for a good part of the day. That was really nice. I made a really good breakfast casserole(slightly modified) that I found on All recipes and I will post on Naptime Gourmet. We had round 2 of gift opening. Then spent some time with the family. Ryan didn't go down for his nap especially easily, so I used to opportunity to lie down with him in our bed and get some rest myself. In the evening we headed out to my spend Christmas dinner with my dad's side of the family while my parents and brother went off to spend that time with my mom's side of the family...that was a little weird, but we spent the whole day with them, so it was okay. We just spent a whole day with my mom's side 2 weeks ago for Cookie Day- my parents and brother couldn't be in town then, so it kind of makes sense. There we had round 3 of presents. We got home about 10:30 and now we can relax and reflect on the day. It was a good day :-)
There shall be more on Christmas tomorrow.
