Good Tidings This Christmas!!!

What a wonderful Christmas it has been... but I think no matter what we do, it is always a wonderful Christmas! For Christmas Eve we went to Todds parents house and had dinner and played white elephant with gifts that we found around the house! Its pretty fun just to see what everyone gives out! I cooked dinner, which was so much fun! It turned out pretty scrumptious if I do say so myself! I guess you can say it was a first to cook for the "big" Christmas meal.

Here are the grand kids eating their dinner.

Then the best part of the night is when Todd's mom gave us all of our "special" gifts which were individual quilts that she handmade. They were all gorgeous and so unique! Every one absolutely loved them! Thank you so much Lori, we love them!
Once we went home, Todd and his brother put Berkeley's toys together, which was the first of many Christmas Eves to come in our house. I thought it was SO cute.... the beginning of the toy era.
Christmas day we went to Todd's parents house again, then to his grandparents, then to the movie National Treasure, and then finally home. It was a great day! Here are some pictures of Berkeley's new favorite things and our sweet little family!

This picture I had to use my camera timer...hence the off balance, and just ignore Todd wearing one of my necklaces!!
Merry Christmas!

Your dinner was the BOMB! Thanks so much for doing that JIllian. Okay I had NO idea you got that slide thing for Berks!! Will you keep it outside when it gets a little warmer? HOW CUTE! She's such a little climber Queen-this will suit her just perfectly!
