Ok, yes, I know how this looks... well it is how this looks. I didn't take any pictures of Christmas. It was a very busy holiday this year, and the kids opened the gifts so fast I didn't have any time to photograph anything. So to everyone forgive me, and I promise to start doing better. There are a few pics on my phone but not much. so just to give a small overview of the holiday I will just stick to main details!
Christmas Eve was very busy, between working and trying to get presents done, and cooking, it just got away from me. We had a very wonderful evening that started with going to our dear friends Catholic Christmas mass. They were a big part of the service that evening, and we wanted to go. It was lovely, and we enjoyed being with that part of our family for Christmas Eve.
Next we went to my sister Jennies house for a wonderful prime rib dinner, and cookie decorating, with a movie showing of Polar Express. Of course the night was cut short when Annie decided to grace us all with a lovely smell from her rear end, and both parents had forgot diapers! Well, thats just how we roll people! My sister knows how to throw a party, and the food was great.
Trying to get the kids to bed this year, well was near impossible. They had received video messages from Santa, and that was worse than giving them Mountain dew and pixie sticks! They were so excited, and so they had one big sleepover in Annies room.
Christmas morning the kids woke up and Santa may have cut back this year, but it sure didn't look it. They got so many toys that we had to get rid of over half of what they already had just to make room for the new. William got a DS lite, Emery got a Batcave playset, and Annie got all disney princess gifts. I think Santa likes Disney princess for the princess Annie....ooops!
We continued our day by celebrating Emery's birthday that morning with a small breakfast at nana, and grandpas house. The kid is going to hate is birthday, but if you know Em, there is no other day for celebrating his life. Nana and Grandpa gave the kids lots of fun toys and love. Aunt Jennie and Uncle Dallas decided to give Annie yet another inanimate object to cling to, that she hasn't let go since.
Banana and papas house was the last stop on the Crosby Christmas Express, and the day just kept coming with gifts and goods for all. We had a big feast as always, and I think I made the ugliest cake in history for Emery. We at least got to sing to him on his birthday. Uncle Jordan made hats for the boys of some of their favorite colors, which they now refuse to take off. I had some fun myself this year, by taking old washed holy jeans and making them into purses for all the girls. I had a blast, if there was any money in it I would do it professionally.
By the time the day ended we were too exhausted to even play with the gifts we got. We had a great holiday and the spirit was definitely with us! Hope you all had a very merry holiday, and have a great 2010! love the CROSBY'S!!!!
