Christmas and New Years

We had such nice Christmas.  We stayed home this year because Andy is really busy getting his graduate applications done.

Christmas Eve we went to church and when we got home Penny and I took a nap and Andy and Ellie went to Mission Bay and played on his skateboard.  When they got home we had dinner and then watched Home Alone 2.  Ellie almost died laughing, which made us laugh even harder.  After the girls went to bed Andy and I got everything set up.

Our girls were so spoiled by friends and family

Christmas morning the girls slept until about 7 and Penny refused to even look at a present until she ate some cereal.

We opened stocking and their present from Santa and then we had breakfast, cinnamon rolls and bacon.  We opened a few more presents and then got dressed and went to see Jumanji.  We all really liked it!

We opened presents one at a time this year, and so it took most of the day to open everything.  Then I made ham dinner and we went to Sea World for about an hour to look at the lights.  We left a little earlier than planned because Andy and Ellie went on ride and got soaked! It was dark and a little chilly and so they were both pretty much done.

Even though it was little sad to not see any family, it was so nice to be relaxed and really enjoy our core family.  I love them so much!

New Years Eve we had our last Sunday at 1 o'clock church, hallelujah! When we came home I made egg roll and fried rice.  Andy quickly fell asleep until 9.  I put the girls to bed after an early midnight countdown, and then I fell asleep until 11:55.  So we were definitely party animals like usual!
