'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

...we were all singing a new song... it was quite delightful but very very LONG!

A new tradition has graced my home. Dominick the Donkey - an Italian song. Scott even typed up the words so everyone could sing along.





This, of course, was our "pre" present activity which followed our delicious Christmas Eve dinner of ham, "potoes", veggies and salad. We even had a little cheese cake to top it off.

I don't have any pictures of the mayhem that took place while presents were being opened BUT I do have pictures of the "calm" which followed.

Jenni and Max playing Don't Break the Ice

BTW.. in the background of Jenni and Max is my gift from Scott. A NEW 55" flat screen - very nice!!

After the presents were dispersed and happiness reigned - everyone left for their homes to await the visit of the jolly ole' man in the red velvet suit. Scott, Rick and I did the same.

Christmas morning more FUN to unwrap.

Scott unwrapping drawers for his new workbench

Rick got a new iPhone AND some BYU memorabila

Rick gave Scott a new toy for the Wii. A BOWLING BALL - just what this "addicted to bowling" guy needed. We had to test it out before breakfast.

Once again - it was another great Christmas at our house. We missed Rusty and Collette but they seemed to have had a wonderful day as well. Christmas IS the most wonderful time of the year. Can't wait til next year!!
