Christmas 2010

This year was our first Christmas in our new home!  On Christmas Eve, we ordered pizza for dinner (one of Sean's family traditions) and then allowed Ethan to open a gift.  He picked "Diary of a Whimpy Kid" and was SO excited!  We then surprised him by opening another gift - a special shirt we bought for him (I will get to that in another post). 

Christmas morning, Ethan woke up at 4:21AM - with much conjoling from us, he stayed in bed until 6AM, when we all got up and loaded up the car and went to my parents house.  Santa knew that we were going to open presents there, so he left all of the gifts there - there were so many presents!  Ethan had so much fun opening all of his!  After opening gifts, we all ate breakfast and I took a nap while waiting for Meg and Bobby to come over:)

After opening more gifts with Meg and Bobby, we visited where my grandma and grandpa are buried, then went to my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Bud's house.  It was so fun seeing everyone together again!  We had the traditional turkey and all of the yummy side-dishes and desserts - so good!  This year for gifts, we did something a little different... we did Secret Santa, as opposed to getting everyone a gift.  It turned out really well!  We followed that with a White Elephant (another new game this year).  It was so fun to watch everyone open the gifts and then swap!  We then announced to everyone the big news! (which will be another post).

Another great Christmas with a wonderful family!
