Our Christmas

Well Christmas didn't go exactly as planned but was still enjoyable considering.

The day before Christmas Eve James' Grandpa was admitted into the hospital. We was able to get picture of him with Grandma and Grandpa before he was admitted though. He is now home and doing better, not the same as being home for the holidays though.

We finally got James in bed on Christmas Eve so Santa could come.

Winter isn't my time of year and I hate snow but I was really happy to have a white Christmas.

James woke us up about 7 am yelling Santa came!

Dad helped open the boxes to get all the toys out.

James then put on one of his new outfits and started playing with the gifts.

But before that he had to call Grandma then Grandpa at the hospital to tell what he got.

We then finished dinner and set the table for our meal. Can you believe I forgot to take pics of desert?

A friend of Eric's came over later that night for leftovers. James put on a pair of his new Batman pajamas and we called it a night. Hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas

Glad to hear Grandpa is home and doing better. It is hard to enjoy the holidays when a loved one is ill. James must have been very good last year for Santa to leave so many great toys.
Thank You yes he was very good

Nice!
Thank You
Great pics! Looks like James was a REALLY good boy this year! ;)
Thank You and on average he has lol
Doesn't Santa ALWAYS grade on an "average"?
Good thing for James yes, tonight I think Santa gave him 2 marks towards next Christmas lol
Probably a good thing for most kids...Is James being "naughty"? O.o....=)
