Christmas!

We had another great Christmas this year. One of my friends from work switched a day with me so I didn't have to work Friday night before Christmas Eve. We spent all day at my parent's house with all of our extended family. Then as I was going to get ready for work I got a suprise Christmas present...work called and said they weren't busy and I could have the night off!! Of course I said yes so I was able to spend the night at my parent's with Mondo and the kids and all wake up together on Christmas morning. On Christmas Day we celebrated with Mondo's family and also celebrated his younger brother Abel's birthday! What a busy weekend!

Part of the snack spread. I'm usually full by lunch time and don't have room for turkey and dressing and all the trimmings.

Caleb was really into serving everyone this year. He made sure everyone had a glass...that he filled.

Caleb's plate. Out of all of that delicious food this is what he wanted.

Part of our large group. I think we had almost 40 people!

Present time!

The one...the only...Santa Land!!

My niece Morgan played us some Christmas songs on her cello. She was great!

Caleb got a Spongebob Snuggie!

How many licks does it take.....

He was being a reindeer.

Playing Spiderman with Papa.

Sprinkling reindeer food.

One last hug for Ho-Ho.

The kids said Santa wanted chocolate milk this year.

Nana read "Twas the Night Before Chrismas" before bed. I think this should be a new tradition.

Santa presents.

He got a shark and a crocodile! But perhaps not exactly the ones he wanted....

Reading with his Tag Reader.

All decorated for Christmas breakfast. Yummy!

Chugging his morning cup of coffee (hot chocolate).

Yep. He's eating spaghetti...for breakfast. Just like his Aunt Ree.

Another Christmas tradition...trying to wake up cousin Blaine.

Playing with his golf clubs from Santa. Watch out Tiger Woods!

Listening to his new iPod.

Christmas dinner at MoMo's. My mouth is salivating right now! Yummo!

Silly MoMo and PaPa John.

I was shocked when Caleb wanted his picture taken with everyone. Here he is with Uncle Abel.

Cousin Priscilla.

Aunt Tina.

Uncle Juan.

After some festivities at MoMo's house we decided to move the party to our house so the kids could run around and play. And we celebrated Uncle Abel's birthday!

The adults played poker and Tomo Todo and the kids had a dance party. They stayed up till almost midnight!

Caleb wouldn't let Uncle Juan go to sleep.
