Christmas eve we had breakfast at our house. I always love this. I love that we can be together as a family and share traditions with each other. We had pancakes, sausages, eggs, hash browns, and cinnamon rolls, thanks to one of Grandma's traditions.
After breakfast we decorated gingerbread houses and ate all the candy that came with the kit.
Then we started to make cookies for Santa, but it was getting late, so the boys opened their Christmas Eve Present and everyone left to get ready for bed. Kaden politely replied that he hoped that his present wasn't pajamas this year, and then I replied that we needed to look nice when Santa came to visit or he wouldn't leave any presents. He was o.k. with new pajamas after that. 
Christmas morning was a little weird. I waited and waited for the boys to wake up! After about 8:00 I decided to go and wake them up, and of course Mckay said that he needed "just 10 more minutes." How crazy is that? When I was a kid we were up every half hour starting at 4. My dad would just laugh and say, "go back to bed!"
They got spoiled again this year, go figure! They each got a crayola video camera/camera so they can take pictures when we go to Florida in February. They also got a ton of character shirts, books, air hogs helicopter(that broke 10 minutes later) and pixos( little annoying glue dots that when wet, stick to everything!)
They got a leapster 2 from Grandma and Grandpa Larsen, which I recommend to everyone with kids, and they got a ben ten alien creation chamber from Grandma and Grandpa Christensen, which again, they have had a blast with.
It was so fun that we got to spend time with all our family this Christmas. We are so blessed to have family and friends surrounding us. The quality of life would be sad if we didn't have people to share it with.

I've never had that happen. So you use my pitures to store them in? Good luck on that, when you find out, let me know. I did click on the two that just have a box and they came up, full size! Maybe you just need to make sure they will fit, or somethig. Love you!
I am going to take a stab at your question. Make sure you that when you upload your pictures you are the html tab. Then, when you want to see the picture click on the compose tab. But if you up load your files in html on the compose section it will just show the text... does that make sense?
Good times, great Christmas. The end.
Happy new year, I love your traditions that you have started, and the ones that we all have, like the opening of the christmas jamies the night before, after the first year the kids always have that one figured out. anyway have a great and safe new year, hugs to all. love ya
