Christmas

Well, we had a great Christmas and enjoyed being with our family. These pictures are in no particular order. We made 4 batches of home-made sugar cookies for our neighbors and friends. That is a lot if you have ever made them. We made the dough, rolled it, cut it, baked it, frosted them and put them in the stacked plastic containers. The picture only shows about 1/2 of the many we made. The day before Christmas Eve Peyton and I went out and played in the snow. He loved it and made his first snow angel. We then came in to have hot chocolate w/ marshmellows, which he also loved! Christmas Eve we opened our new jammies and slippers and hung out watching Christmas movies and snacking on goodies. We also made cookies to leave out for Santa along with the carrots for the reindeer. We then read our Christmas book, "This is the Season" and went to bed. Christmas morning Jake and I were both so excited and woke up around 7. We got up watched some tv while we waited for Peyton to wake up. He was still sleeping by 8 so we each got ready and Peyton was still asleep. We finally went and woke him up and he was lying in his bed and was so excited and saying the funniest stuff. Jake and I were cracking up. We finally got him to come see if Santa had come and then I got the video camera out. Peyton was pretty much in a daze after we got out the video camera. We should have had it when he was just waking up and showed so much excitement. He was lots of fun this year and very spoiled.
