Recovering from Christmas

So I really dropped off with the posts right around Christmas! Well were busy and having fun. Audrey received a Webkinz from Jason's cousins and we have become a little obsessed with webkinz world lately! We stayed home on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was nice and relaxing. My parents came on the afternoon of the 24th to see go to church with us and see Audrey sing in the choir. We came home and had soup and sandwiches and then opened presents from each other. After we put the kids to bed we started the assembly of Santa gifts and didn't get batteries in and everything put together until well after midnight. It might have taken so long because we had to play with the toys to test them out :) Audrey left 3 cookies for Santa and hot cocoa instead of milk because she was sure he would be cold and need to warm up a little! Audrey and Henry were so excited when they came down the stairs and looked under the tree. Audrey said that she got everything that she wanted and that it was the best Christmas ever. My parents left after breakfast (Jason made waffles AND eggnog pancakes!!) and as they were walking out the door Jason's parents were arriving! The kids opened presents from that set of grandparents and then we had Christmas dinner of ham, cheesy potatoes, green beans, and Hawaiian delight. I had a horrible sinus headache all day, so I just laid around on the couch in between getting stuff in and out of the oven. We all stayed in our pajamas all day and didn't clean up any of the Christmas mess until the next day. On Saturday we went to my parents to have Christmas with my sister and cousins. On the way there it stormed really bad and there were tornado warnings, and semi trucks blowing off of the interstate. We have had some weird weather here lately. It will be windy with a wind chill of -15 and then a couple of days later it is 65! Anyway, we had more Christmas fun at my parents house and finally finished up our celebrating and were home again on Sunday night. We have spent the last couple of days catching up on laundry and housework. I have a few pictures of Christmas festivities. I will try to post them this week.
