Christmas Weekend 2011

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and got to enjoy time with family and friends. We had a busy Christmas as usual, but the kids had a lot of fun this year and it was nice to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the company of family.

We began the festivities with some baking; green cornflake wreaths, sugar cookies with candy cane kisses and oreo fudge.

The boys were very excited this year for Santa to come and to open presents. Below are some of the highlights of the gifts and excitement of the long weekend.
