Christmas in January....

Nothing says procrastinate like updating the blog when you have a trial in the morning. :)

I wish I had more pictures, but here are some from Christmas. How it works on my side of the family is we spend Christmas Eve at my mom's house and Christmas Day at my dad's house. The rest is a free for all. Kieran and I arrived in Galesburg on Christmas Eve in the afternoon. We opened presents and ate tons of food and had a great time at my mom's house. Then, the next day around noon, we head over to my dad's house where we open presents, relax, and make homemade pizzas (which is a tradition Nicole started last year...it's always a competition as to whose 'za is the best...hands down, mine sucked this year...I put like 25 cloves of garlic on it!)

Nicole pretending she likes her garlicky pizza...we overdid the garlic big time!
Alaina and her pepperoni pizza...
Annelise and her masterpiece!
The girls and the early stages of their creations
The set-up (yes, I know the pics are backwards!)...we had pretty much anything you could imagine to put on a pizza, except anchovies.
Jonah acquainting himself with his new dinosaur. And his excitement (below) when he opened his present!
From Christmas Eve, Laura helping Kaela open her presents. She would not sit still and look at my camera. She was off having a tea party in the kitchen after opening her presents.
