Tradition (if all schedules allow) is to eat Christmas Eve at my brother and SIL's house. This year she had these cute little napkin rings on each plate. 
Mike thought they were cute too so he decided to wear his...he is always making me smile :-) 
Rosalyn (my SIL) served some very unique drinks. They were floats made of vanilla ice cream, sprite, candy cane and sprinkles. Doesn't this drink just look like the most Christmasy thing ever!
Aunt Judy surprised us all by coming to spend Christmas with us. We all love her so much!
Mom made these delicious sticky buns that we enjoyed Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Yummy!
Once Mike made plans for us to come for Christmas, I wanted to make something special to use on the table as a decoration. These mittens were perfect...they were quick to make, and they worked out great.
Time for presents...
This griddle will be great for Mom's Brown Sugar Pancakes.
Every gift Michael started opening he thought was a Wii
Dad got books, CDs and DVDs
Mike's big gift this year was a new laptop...although he "accidentally" found out about his gift before Christmas...I still think he was excited.
I was surprised with this fabulous book (the famous PW cookbook) from Philip and family... and Mike did the sweetest thing and had our VHS wedding tape moved to DVD...he is such an awesome husband!
After all the gifts were opened, Rachel couldn't wait to pull out some of her new coloring things and color with Aunt Judy... they colored until the Wii got all set up.
So the Wii got all set up and the fun began... this is Mike figure skating :-)
Even Mom got involved... she did a really good job bowling and I think she really enjoyed herself.
Philip won all the baseball games he played
I love this picture of Mike... he really got into the Tennis game... he would run up to the TV and back... it was just to funny... check out his face in this picture... I just love it!
That was the end of our Christmas. It was a memory filled day!

Isn't Wii awesome! We have had so much fun as a family. We have Wii bowling competitions, tennis matches, etc. We try and have Wii night once a week as a family.
Looks like you are having a blast! So happy you are with family and surrounded by loved ones!
Hugs!
Fun family times! Enjoyed the Wii photos especially :-) The mitten place holders are adorable. I could really go for one of your mom's cinnamon rolls now! Yum!
Fun to visit 'virtually' on Christmas :)
