We (Karsen and I) woke up around 8, Jan watched him so that I could shower and get ready for the day.
Matt and I had been in the kitchen late on Christmas Eve. I made the potato salad and dressing and he made the pecan and cherry pies. yum.
I made it to bed around 2 on Christmas Eve. So back to Christmas. After I was ready to go I got back into the kitchen. Then my parents came over and we opened presents. Matt and I got a Wii. It is soooooo much fun. We all got lots of other presents and it was nice. Karsen got more toys than any sweet boy needs. There are many still in the packages.
I had my mother help me out in the kitchen. I needed to make a lot of stuff. I started with the homemade mac and cheese. It was good at Thanksgiving, but AMAZING at Christmas. It was all gone before 6 that evening and it was a 13 x 9 pan. I also made a broccoli rice casserole, it didn't turn out well, but thats ok. I warmed up the ham and turkey, dressing, and rolls. So we had ham and turkey, mac and cheese, broccoli rice casserole, potato salad, dressing, deviled eggs, and rolls. I made everything from scratch, except for the ham and turkey and the rolls.
It was a wonderful meal. And a wonderful day with my family!! I really enjoyed myself. The next day I went shopping with my parents, Joe, and Tanya. Matt and I ran some errands and then he came home and installed Jan's new garage door opener. Then Matt and I went on a date. It was nice to have some alone time with my baby. I love that man so much. I have spent today playing on the Wii, taking care of the boy, and then getting myself ready for the day. Matt and I are going to run some more errands and stuff later today.
I am so blessed. I love my family so much.

Your mother and your daddy were beaming on Chritmas day as we discussed your accomplishments of this year. Your accomplishments are a source of pride for all of us who love you and call you "dear". If you had decided to call it quits, everyone would have understood that circumstances had changed and you just couldnt pull off every goal you had set for yourself. However, you did accomplish every goal, and you did it with a flourish. It was hard I know, but you kept whittling away until the goal was reached. I am so proud of you. Also, the Christmas dinner was fantastic and you did all of that by yourself too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I, and I know I am not alone, in congratulating you on a job well done indeed.
