Christmas Night with the De Vree's
Christmas night at 5:30 we celebrated Christmas with my family. It was suppose to be just appetizers to munch on, but of course Mom went above and beyond. We had a spiral ham, potatoes wedges with cheese and bacon, meatballs, baked beans, sausage balls, spinach & herb dip, a cheese dip, little weenies in BBQ sauce, and a couple of jello dishes. Scot and I definitely had no reason to be hungry on Christmas Day.
After dinner we opened gifts. Everyone seemed to be very happy with the gifts that they opened. Scot received a knife sharpening kit and a heater for his office in the barn.
I received a nice set of pajamas, a gift card to Younkers and shadow boxes for the twins bedroom.
Us kids got my dad an attachment for his weed whip.

Christmas with the Van Dam's
Merry Christmas!!! Christmas morning Scot and I celebrated with his family. We had a wonderful brunch at 10:30. Mom and Scot were busy in the kitchen making made to order omelets. Omelet's were Scot's request to have on the menu. 
There was no way you could have left hungry. Along with the omelets the following items were available: monkey bread, blueberry french toast, spiral ham, twice baked potatoes, fresh fruit, jello, and rolls. We also had plenty of sweets to munch on during the day. 
After brunch we opened presents. It is always fun to watch the kids get so excited over their gifts. It is craziness once we get going!! Even though the twins are still not here they even received a few gifts as well. Uncle Brad, Aunt Holly, Mason & Colton got the twins a Bumbo and a tray for the bumbo. 
Grandma and Grandpa got the twins a soft Noah's ark book and two learning games. I received a very nice pajama set, a bracelet, a cooling pad for our laptop, and a gift bag filled with goodies for the kitchen. Scot received a hunting tent, a docking station for his office, and the movie, A Dog named Christmas.

Our Christmas Visitors
Tonight Scot and I were suprised by a VERY CUTE Christmas visitor. Our nephew, Eli, and his mom stopped by to drop off Christmas cookies!
Only 5 more days till Christmas.....
Van Dam Christmas Party
Last night we celebrated Christmas with the Van Dam family at Uncle Dennis and Aunt Sharon's home. The party started at 5:00 with a nice dinner. After we were finished eating the kids opened their gifts. 
After all the gifts were opened, the kids went into another room to watch a Christmas show. The adults tried to play the game Mafia for the first time. I didn't think the Van Dam men would be able to play without cheating. We were able to play two successful rounds and I to the best of my knowledge there was no cheating going on. We were able to end the night with another game, Four on a Couch. We played this game 3 times and it hard for me to type this, but the men won all three times. The women were out numbered!!!!
