Christmas-Christmas Eve...Out of Order..of Course.


Calvy got a super cool bike, that took us until 3am to put together. He likes it, if he could just reach the pedals... :( That little doggie in the picture is out friends(the Walls') dog, Penelope. We were watching her over the Christmas break. Calvy thought it was one of his presents I think. When she went home Cavy woke up the next morning asking for PeePee(her nick name). It was kinda sad, but I think he made a friend for life. :)
This was Calvy waking us up on Christmas morning. He walked in asking for Nemo, too bad he didn't get anything Nemo for Christmas. Please excuse the Bra, Iwish I new how to edit.
This was Calvy's Santa present. He loves his Mickey, he sleeps with him and the blanket every night, and he brings Mickey to me in the morning so we can all sleep together.
We have a tradition on Christmas Eve to get Christmas Jammies from Grandma. My mom sent us our jammies in the mail, we were so excited, well I was, to open them on the Eve. Calvy got Cars, and Alsy and I got some nice comfy Jams. Calvy loves his Cars.
Another tradition we have for Christmas Eve is to have a Progressive Dinner. We have all the different courses at different houses. To help me feel a little more at home here in Iowa, and less homesick during Christmas we decided to have one ourselves with all the families that stayed too. We had our appetizer at our friends' the Squires beautiful home, and we had Hawiian Haystacks at our house and watched "Elf", then went over to the Muffets and had dessert, made by our friends the Ramos', and Hot Chocolate and watched "Christmas Vacation". It was so much fun, it was the perfect distraction from home. Thank you to all of our friends, we had such a great Christmas Eve with you guys.
On Christmas day we were invited to our neighbors' house for a family get-together. It was a lot of fun, they had a TON of food and sweet treats and everyone was so nice. We have the best neighbors and friends, and they all made this Christmas Season great.
