Goodbye Christmas...

Well as we all know Christmas "has come and gone" in the blink of an eye...so much preparation, and in no time it's over...all the gifts are open and Christmas morning is just another memory....


So we will start with getting ready for the arrival of Santa....


Logan and Tyler made some Reindeer food
in school....the label says...
"On Christmas Eve before bedtime,
go outside and sprinkle this package on the snow.  This will help guide
Santa's sleigh to your house because Rudolph will
smell the oats and he will see he sparkles shining on the snow
from the night sky"  
The boys were so excited
about sprinkling the package of "magic reindeer dust" that
we did not get a chance to get pics    :(

Before we knew Santa had come....
Look at all the stuff he left...
we feel so fortunate...


The front gift in the middlewas something special that Tyler
had asked Santa for....a jar of pickles...silly Tyler he
loves his pickles...


The stockings were too stuffed, so there was some spillage
silly little elves...




overstuffed or what?

Logan really wanted a Robot for
Christmas, but we looked
everywhere, Santa did his
best but even he couldn't find
one....so his Mom...Tiffany
improvised....and made a robot costume
it made Logan a very happy boy,
he liked his robot.   :)  
Tyler on the other hand, was not
too happy seeing his mom
dressed like a robot, and asked
her to take it off ....   :(


I think he really wanted to open presents!
Once all the gifts were open...then it was 
time to play...


and play they did....






Christmas night ended very nicely...
with two very happy little boys,
two tired grandparents, and one
tired Mommy..   :)

Then we had Boxing Day Dinner for
Family and Friends  (24 people total)
What better way to spend the day!

There was lots and lots
of food...the turkey was cooked
on the BBQ, the stuffing, ham and
cabbage rolls all shared oven space...
turnips, corn and homemade buns,
along with cranberry sauce, salads and
more desserts than I can even count,
makes for one awesome meal!  mmmmm yummy!


So here were are, some of our family and friends

All I can say is...good food, good people, good times!

What a great way to spend Boxing Day,
with family and friends!
