For breakfast my intention was to make Christmas Tree pancakes with these cute little red/white and green/white striped chocolate chips I found. However, the mold didn't come with directions and I obviously couldn't figure out how to get the pancake out of the mold and cook it properly, so we settled for snowmen...
The rest of the day we played games and watched movies. After Grace woke up from her nap we let the kids open presents from my mom and dad and from my sister. They had a blast!
Then we gave them their special Christmas Eve PJ's - Tanner's was "Cars" themed and Graces were "Dora" themed. We watched The Grinch and CJ read the "Texas Night Before Christmas" and they were off to bed!
Christmas Day
Wow! The kids were only up a little earlier than normal - about 6:30. They were SO excited, but surprisingly patient. One of the things I did was make a jewelry box for Grace. I thought it turned out pretty good and she loves to put all her new jewelry in it!
The second picture is the top of the box. Sorry for my shodow, but I had to turn the flash off because the clear coat was causing a huge glare and I couldn't figure out how else to get the picture. Anyway, after the present opening was done we spent the rest of the day playing games, watching movies and eating junk food. FUN! I'm going to try and get a little slide show of pictures posted tomorrow so stay tuned....
