Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we hosted the Rudolph Family. We all went to mass and Adam fell asleep before the service started.  Lucas was too tired to stand, but they were both nice and quiet.  We came home to a wonderful dinner that included: smoke salmon, poached duck, shrimp cocktail, a antipasti tray, salad, homemade bread, and a cheese plate.  After we were miserable full and the boys just couldn't wait any longer we headed downstairs to open gifts.  I was quiet amazed and proud of Lucas.  He was more excited about giving to others than about opening his own.  He wanted Paps to open the first present which was a cotton candy maker from the boys.  Then Daddy had to open his cutting board from the boys and next Grandma had to open the biggest present of them all, a TV stand/fireplace.  After almost everyone else had opened a gift Lucas said, "how about me and Adam can we open one now?"  Adam wanted to play with his toys and we had to make him come open the rest of his gifts.  He loves to play! We all took turns one at a time opening our presents and telling stories about each one.    We had a wonderful time.  The boys left out some special gingerbread cookies for Santa and a carrot for Rudolph.
