Christmas Day!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Our Lord and Savior is BORN!
Fell back to sleep and woke up when my oldest did around 8-9 AM... I take a PIC of each child as they come down the stairs and then playing with their 'Santa' gift...
First was my oldest:
He dressed himself before he came down...Loves his new GeoTrax track and train... This train goes forward and backwards... Our first one to do that... It even comes with a little man to ride in the train too... Another first for us...Followed by peanut about an hour later:I've found the Daddy...Let's put the baby on the chair...
Daddy's washing his hands (something my husband does often), Mommy's cooking in the kitchen (something she sees me do often), and baby is at the table... I'm sooo happy!!! I love my first doll house!
Last to come down was Monkey about 1/2 hour after Peanut:
Playing with his new Thomas the Tank Engine set... It is a figure 8 with bridge and water tower...
We woke up and missed Mass at our usual parish... So, we went downtown to the Cathedral... We had some snacks then opened presents around 2 PM... We then had a IHOP breakfast we cooked at home... Eggs (a zillion ways), bacon, sausage (links and patties), homemade shredded pan fried potatoes, biscuits, bagels, english muffins, toast and pancakes... We put the Ham in around 4 PM and had Ham dinner later that night with all the fixings (similar to Thanksgiving)... We ended the day like we always do with a 10 PM drive through the park to see the lights... From Dec 1st till Dec 31st... Various organizations create light displays in the park that you drive by a look at from 5:30-10:30 for $5... So, it's our tradition to end our day doing that then bath, jammies, and to bed...
