Christmas was wonderful!
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.
