Every Christmas Eve, I let the boys open one present each. TV Boy always knows what it is, but never says it out loud until he opens it. It’s always a Christmas-y set of pajamas. This year these pajamas proved to be quite a conundrum for me. I was happy to find Monkey Boy’s PJs early in my shopping adventures. I could never find TV Boy any PJs, so I ended up pullin’ my self out of bed very early on Christmas Eve morning to head out and find some for him. I went back to Target, where they had some cute ones but never had his size. I went back there hoping they perhaps had gotten another shipment, but to my dismay they had not. I took off to Kohl’s where I was very happy to find some cute snowboarding PJ’s in his size.
About 6:15 that evening I realized time was getting away from me since I had spent several hours visiting with one of my neighbors. I went to wrap the PJs so the boys could unwrap them and put them on. As Rob was about to take the hanger off Monkey boy’s set he realized the hanger was labeled 5T while the box said 3T. I opened them and they were TINY! 
I was NOT happy, of course. So I started calling a few stores to see if by any chance they were still open. K-mart was actually going to be open until 10 so I raced off to see if they had anything. I managed to find some fairly cute Christmas-y pants and found a soft red shirt to match. So that was my pajama saga and ended up turning out ok. They ended up looking really cute for my pictures on Christmas Day.
Christmas Day
After making the Gingerbread house, I had the boys go out in the yard and look for some pine cones. I painted them. Then pulled out some glittery thingys and some glue. The boys decorated them and we placed them on the table wear the food was going to be on Christmas Day.
This was before all the food got put on the table.
We had 2 tables FULL of food!
Good times! Family, food, and lots of fun.
The few days that TV Boy had off before Christmas we enjoyed some of our traditions that we try to make time for every year. One of which is making a Gingerbread House. Last year, we didn’t get to it. This year I stepped back and tried to let the kids do as much as possible. Enjoy the pictures:

So Christmas was good. Lots of family, fun, and food! And just so I can look back and remember, here’s what I got:
My lil’ sis is growing up and I just can’t believe how fast time flies. It seems not long ago I was walking around jr. high as happy as can be that I FINALLY had a little sister!
As you can see from the picture, she’s got a ring on her finger and is now engaged to be married in 2010. Cool year to get married. I wished I lived closer so I could help her plan and stuff.
