Christmas Day 09'

Jared gets a steering wheel cover...
Yes, Macy finally sat with Uncle Mike (of course she was trying to get away from their dog RJ who had been locked up most of the day). (and no, RJ is not that dog on the couch, that is Ladybug). RJ was in the middle of the room, going about 100 miles an hour in a circle chasing his tail. Hilarious.

Christmas Morning 09'

opening up Uncle Dar and Aunt Shelley's Christmas box
After years of us making fun of the Snuggie commercial...( I mean seriosuly is it really that hard to answer a phone with a regular blanket thrown over you and that easy with a snuggie?), anyways, Carson really wanted one for Christmas. I couldnt find any kid sizes, (this looks like it doesnt even fit the average adult) so its a bit big....but he got his snuggie.

Christmas Eve 09'

We do a 'Chinese gift exchange' of sorts on Christmas Eve. Maggie picks her gift...
No one dared to steal my dad's gift (his beloved Sarah Palin stuff!)

Jared ended up with one of Jenna's old Lady Patriots basketball jackets! Haha It was funny. He did get a $25 dollar I-tunes gift certificate, so it wasnt all bad.

Matt and Steve

My brother Mike ended up with one of the gifts we brought. And believe it or not, the very next day, when we went to his house for Christmas dinner, it was already set up and planted (by him) just waiting for it to grow!

The ShamWow's were a big hit. Got stolen 3 times!

So Jared is going to a 'gag' gift exchange today for his Jr. team. The teammate he got broke his arm early in the season. Then after getting his cast off, found out it didn't heal right, so then he had to get surgery. The poor guy has been in a cast almost the whole season. (and currently still is). So anyways, we went to one of the local retailers and asked if they had any broken mannequin arms. They came out with this one and even gave it to us for free since it was Christmas. So Jared is going has it all wrapped up and is going to tell him how sorry that he is that he has had such a tough year with his arm and all. Then he will open it and find 'his spare arm' haha. I thought it was funny anyways.

After the race.....icecream and hot chocolate

It was about -10 degrees outside. I was all geared up to watch.
