Christmas Day

After a fun morning at the Jensen's we headed over to my parent's and got there about 11:30. My mom made an excellent Christmas breakfast of blueberry cream cheese french toast with homemade blueberry syrup, bacon, and hash browns. After we all had completely stuffed ourselves and my mom and cleaned up breakfast (my mom is a complete clean freak. When we were little we couldn't open presents until our beds were made and we had to open presents one at a time making sure we threw all of the wrapping paper in the garbage before we went on to the next present. We have spent a lot of time throughout the years waiting for her to clean something up. That is one way that I wish I was more like her). My parent's have been saying for months that they weren't going to be getting us a lot for Christmas so we were all very surprised at how much they spoiled us. They got us all Jazz tickets so we can go to game together, new perfume or cologne, and $250.00 cash. The cash was a big surprise that none of us were expecting. Trav bought some clothes and Wii Fit. I plan on getting some clothes and stuff for our house. Thank you Mom and Dad for completely spoiling us again this year. Matt and Amanda
The newest "grandchild" my sister's puppy Dexter.
My little bro. K.C.
All of the kids gave my mom a picture calendar which hadn't arrived yet and some framed wedding pictures she had been asking for forever.
We got my dad a Snuggie which has also been wanting forever. He looks hilarious in it. My mom told him he looked like a blue whale.
Years ago my dad said that he was done putting up Christmas lights and all he wanted was a sign that said Bah Humbug! to put in the yard so this year I decided to make it for him. I made it out of spray painted peg board and mini lights. I was up until 2am on Christmas Eve gluing 350 lights into place. Everything I do always takes ten time longer that I think I will.
After presents we all relaxed and watched a movie together. Trav took a little nap with Trigger before we headed home to let the two dogs out that we were babysitting for a frient before we headed back up to Trav's parents for our last party.

The "Bah Humbug" sign is awesome. I can't believe how much K.C. has changed!
