Chopping cherries up for Santa's Shortbread Cherry Cookies that we made.
Jonathan adding the sugar.
Jonathan was glued to NORAD all day on Christmas Eve.
Decorating the "Happy Birthday, Jesus" Birthday cake.
Carving the bird for Christmas Eve dinner.
Wishbone....Jonathan won this time.
Opening presents.
Someone was excited that brother went shopping at Legoland!
Sweet expression...
And mommy got the item on her wishlist.
For dessert, we made Bananas Foster...mmmm. There are actual flames in the photo...it's just hard to see them. It put on quite the show for us.
Santa came and brought new bikes, a DS for Jonathan and lots of DS/Wii loot for Benjamin.
Yay for Christmas morning!
The rest of the break we did a lot of lounging & movie watching....
...and staying up super late every night.
Benjamin also got bunk beds over the break...which amounted to a lot of sleepovers for the two weeks school was out. They talked and giggled & DSed themselves to sleep every night.
Overall, a great break. David said it was our best break ever since we didn't have much of an agenda. We just needed to lay low and recharge the batteries.
