We spent Christmas Eve with our good friends, Wendy & Curtis. Dan spent the morning hunting for ducks and the boys and I spent the morning cooking a different bird (turkey!) I've only made a turkey a few times and every time I do I feel so grown up. And a big thank you to my mom who probably took about ten phone calls from a frazzled daughter that never remembers how to make a turkey! The dinner was delicious and the company even better. After dinner we headed to Wendy and Curtis' church for their Christmas Eve service. They had a wonderful service filled with children ringing bells (yes, Dane got to participate), a puppet singing "Mary, Did You Know" and congregation members reading and singing throughout the service. We then headed home to all put on our new Christmas jammies, read
The Night Before Christmas and then headed to bed.
Here are a few photos of Christmas Eve.
Our Christmas morning began with reindeer sausage for breakfast. So
wrong, but so tasty - a new Hubert tradition.
Once Dane was allowed to dive under the tree (in true Hubert style, Dane was forced to wait until all the camera equipment was set and ready to go) he did most of the opening of presents and he loved every minute of it! Although, once he found the box filled with airplanes and helicopters it was difficult to get him to open any more as documented by the second picture below. Thank you to all the people that sent us wonderful gifts for Dane and Jaeger. They were spoiled rotten and Dane is still asking to open more presents each morning.
Note to self: Next year buy Christmas jammies with a little more pizazz!
