What a wonderful Christmas we had!
Ben and Hannah always spend Christmas Eve with their dad, so we missed them a lot, but we knew they were having a blast with their other side of the family. Mark, Ashton and I had a different yet wonderful Christmas Eve this year. Our friends invited us over. We had awesome homemade one of a kind Turkey Taco soup! It was delicious! It should be in a cookbook! Gotta get that recipe!! We then attended a Christmas Eve service at their church. Ashton did pretty good the first 1/2 hour. Started saying "Go home" the next 1/2 hour and then lost it the last 5 minutes of the service. The three of us went out to dinner after that (Azteca - hee hee...) and came home and made Chocolate Spritz cookies! That was my first time ever seeing the Spritz gun used! Mark was an expert and made great looking cookies! Boy was I impressed. I never knew how cool it was to watch my husband make some cookies! That will be a tradition for us every year! Mark has now decided that he loves the Chocolate Spritz cookies much better than the original. (But we all know his obsession for chocolate!)
Christmas Day was busy but wonderful! We Started off with having the 5 of us eat a big breakfast; open gifts; and just enjoy our time together! Then the hustle and bustle of the day begins! Cleanup, showers and packing the car for the day. First stop is my family! It was a fun time at my parents house. There was great food, dessert and nice conversation the whole afternoon. Then to pack the car again to head 1-1/2 hours to Mark's family. Again with the wonderful food, dessert and some disco spinning on the floor! Ashton sure can make his Auntie's do some crazy stuff! We ended the evening with dropping off the kids at their dad's to finish their Christmas Day. They were super excited to still have more presents to open and it was 10pm. What a wonderful full day spent with family! ;)
Merry Christmas!
