Christmas/New Year's

Happy 2010 everyone! I have been on a very nice and long vacation. Last night was the first night I have slept in my bed since Dec. 19th. We have all been on the go so much!

Christmas Eve the twins and I (along with my mother, father, sister, bro-in-law, and nephew) went to the McCaskill Christmas get together. Poor Michael had to work, so he met up with us later that night. This was the first chance a lot of my dad's side of the family has been able to see the twins. We had a wonderful meal and then we opened gifts.Maddie opening gifts with Mamaw and Great Aunt Susan.

After the dinner we went back to mom and dad's and met up with Michael. We watched a couple of Christmas movies and then went to bed so Santa could come. Christmas day we all woke up to a room FILLED with gifts. Santa had been VERY good.

The twins racked up with clothes and toys. Mommy and Daddy also received a lot of goodies from the family.
After gifts we all played with our new toys and watched movies the rest of the day. It was such a wonderful time!! The next day was the Graves' family Christmas. Over the last few weeks I had been working on family recipe cookbooks. They turned out really well. I was extremely proud to hand them out. Everyone of the family members really seemed to like them. We also had another round of gifts to open from all the aunts and uncles and another WONDERFUL dinner!

On Tuesday we all went to Grampy's and Grandma's and had our Christmas then. A couple of days there and more gifts and more GREAT food, we then went to Gram's and Pop's for New Year's Eve. We had yet another great meal and another round of gifts.
