Even Six Talbots: Christmas 09!

Christmas was great this year! We started out at Grandma Talbots for a visit and the kids played then got there traditional Hot chocolate and toast. After visiting for a couple hours we headed to my moms for our christmas eve party and had a great ham dinner with all the trimmings, followed by gingerbread house making, then the kids sang a song, then we did the nativity with puppets. After that we decided it was time to settle down, the kids got to open one gift which was jammies, then we all sat down and Nana read the kids a christmas story, this is a new tradition she started last year where she reads the book then gives it to the kids, lots of fun. Then we watched Santa Clause is coming to town. It was a great night!

Then we went home and got ready for bed and put out the cookies and milk for Santa. Brittany and Christian came to stay with us again this year, so they can wake up with the kids. It was so fun having them and my mom came over early as well, to see if Santa came and to open gifts. We had our traditional breakfast together and just hung out all day, and played with the wii, the gift Santa brought us!

Later, Grandma and grandpa Talbot stopped by for a visit. The kids opened there gift and we talked for a bit. Then we got ready to go to the Smith family party and had fun eating and laughing at the white elephant game. It was fun seeing so much of the family.
