And Now for Christmas Eve & Day!


Christmas Eve was fabulous but it went undocumented. Neither Tyler nor I took any pictures which is lame of us :( So it looks like I can only write about it... On Christmas Eve we went to Tyler's house where we served a magnificent feast by his amazing mother. After we stuffed ourselves silly we chilled for awhile and then it was time to open up our pajamas. Steven began to get cranky and was not too happy but I think his Elmo PJ's cheered him up...some... After more crankiness of Steven we went for a drive with his cousins and saw some amazing Christmas lights.

After all that fun, Tyler spent the night building a train table and wagon with Santa. In the morning Steven went downstairs and discovered his train table. He was super excited (although his dull Brady side did not show it ;) ) After finding this table he wasn't too in to opening other presents. He just wanted to play with his trains...


Although excited by his trains, he did manage to muster a happy face for the cars he found in his stocking...

Tyler also managed a happy face for his stocking goodies

Steven decided that this gift didn't have to be completely opened. Once he had access to the buttons he was done unwrapping this present.

And after those fun buttons he was back to his train table. He was having so much fun with it that he didn't even notice that his pants were falling down...

Once all the gifts were unwrapped we enjoyed some pancakes made by Tyler (way to go my hubby) and then we played with our gifts for awhile (Tyler building his LEGOs and me putting up my picture of Christ). Below is a picture of us with our gifts (yes- I got spoiled rotten).


Later we headed to Tyler's families house where Tyler played X-BOX with his brother-in-law and Steven played with the trains his Grandparents had got him and I read my new book that Rebekka had given me. After eating the Hatch tradition of shrimp and crackers we went to my families home where we spent the rest of Christmas. There we had another marvelous feast and enjoyed chatting it up with everyone.

Another good Christmas down- can't wait for next year when we will have two crazy little boys :)
