What a wonderful Christmas we had this year! So many wonderful memories made that I can't describe them all! But here's a recap:
Christmas Part 1: We went to DDoc's (my granddad) in Oxford and had a wonderful time with him and my parents, and sisters! Asher enjoyed climbing up in the window sill with him and saying "git doggie, git!" Aidan enjoyed cuddling with him in the window seat and watching the Elmo Christmas special. My sisters, mom, and dad did a wonderful job spoiling the kids silly with all kinds of love, attention, and TOYS! We packed up all (well mostly) of the old toys and sent them to goodwill. Mama kept the boys one night so Ddoc, Kirsten and I could go out to dinner which was sooooooo nice!
Christmas Part 2: My moms side of the family always does Christmas on Christmas Eve day in Raleigh, so I was excited we got to go to that this year! I've included the picture we all took. The boys were spolied with more attention and toys! But it was sooo good to see everyone again! My cousins had grown up so much!!
Christmas Part 3: Christmas Eve we had returned home about 5:30pm and went to church service at 8:30pm. This was special to Mat's mom because the whole family went. Something she has wanted for a long long time! The boys only lasted half way through the service but considering they had been on the go in strange places for 4 day they did sooooooo well! Aidan and Ash passed out by the time we got to grandmas so i did the milk, cookies, and reindeer food (thanks to Grandma Dori---gotta tell ya later where that came from) with 5 year old cousin Paul-Paul! It was so exciting to see him so excited!! Christmas morning we woke up about 7:30am and started on the presents. Mat had eaten the cookies and left one that was bitten into! It was just cute looking! Aidan was THRILLED with his kitchen and nothing else mattered after that!! Asher (as you can see in the pic) had gotten an extra comfy monkey blanket (he loves curiuos george) and he decided to lay down in the middle of presents and take a rest, so Mat and I finished with the presents. I got a bunch of "chef man" stuff for my kitchen from Melissa (we drew names), Mat got clothes and a leather coat from mom, and we had a picture frame engraved for Melissa and Brandon and melissa was very touched about it!
Christmas Part 4: By now Ashie knows the word presents! Minnie got Aidan some Spongebob coloring stuff and the movie and Ashie got a telephone since the child is OBSESSED with phone. That was the only present that he gasped over! We had a good small celebration with Minnie!!

I love ALL the pictures!!! I'm so glad you guys had a great trip to Oxford! I can't believe you found something to "wrap" the kitchen! lol How many meals have you been served so far? 1,657,498? Give or take a few thousand?I've wanted to get Caleb a kitchen, but Scott is anal about it. I found a nice wooden one, that is the same price or less than a lot of the plastic, so I might push for his bday :) Sad, I'm already thinking about birthdays! Might I recommend Playdoh if you don't already have some. It appears to be a big hit here. You can always use it to make more food for the kitchen ;)
