Well I have to say that Christmas was fantastic! My Christmas movie bug finally wore off and I just finished putting away the tree and all of the decorations. This year we tried our best to make something special for those who were close by, so jelly and bread were made in large quantities (I'm going to try and ship the jelly out to mom and dad tomorrow, but sorry no bread :) Seriously though, check this out! Isn't my wife amazing! These are two of the beautiful loaves cooling. The receivers all raved, in fact one partially enjoyed loaf almost cost a very nauty dog his life according to one report.
Christmas eve was spent with the in-laws which was great. The food was fantastic, king crab legs, steak and shrimp! We were livin' it up baby! A good time was had by all and a mountain of presents was had by my kids. Of course, they enjoyed spending time with the family too.Looks like Santa came through for Hunter and got him those two front teeth after all. Which was good because there was a lot of yummy food to enjoy.
Christmas morning was all for us. Which was really nice. No running around, just openning presents and hanging out with the kids. This is the living room after our half hearted attempt to clean up the carnage.
But hey what can you say? Most of the day was spent hanging out in the "basics". I worked on teaching the boys the finer points of playing video games, although it wasn't long before Hunter started saying things like, "come on Daddy, you gotta come over this way... don't do that." Wow, I'm getting old.
B will kill me for doing this, but hey, she looks great in those new "festive" jammies I got her.
And Kyle he had a ball too... of course, didn't matter which toy he played with, his brothers', his own, or nothing he had a time that only Kyle can have. What a crack up.
Well that as the holidays at the Jonz house. Pretty normal for us. Crazy, fun, food, friends and family. Sounds just about right!
Oops! I almost forgot Speedy! Man, I would have heard about that one. This is Speedy, the newest addition to our family and the pride and joy of our reptile loving child. I'm not big on lizards, but there is something cool about watching a bearded dragon down 30 crickets in just over 2 minutes. Go Speedy!
