Christmas with the Weavers

We all had a wonderful Christmas here. We spent Christmas Eve with my dad and family. Had gumbo and crawfish pie and all sorts of other goodies for dinner, a Louisiana Christmas :) It was nice, not too much fighting between the kids. We made cookies Christmas Eve, which was a blast!



Then we sprinkled reindeer food for Santa's reindeer outside and set a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies out for Santa alongside some cold milk. And then bed, which Alex and Aidan didn't manage to fall asleep until 10pm nearly.
I woke up at 5am to Alex in the room, wildly exclaiming that Santa had came and left tons of presents and filled
his stocking! Convinced him to go back to sleep with me for a while and then we all got out of bed at 8am.
Everything was a hit, Alex especially loves his Nintendo DSi, Aidan is digging his playdoh creativity set, and Andrew is loving his Little People minivan and LeapFrog Tad.

Oh, and all of these pictures were taken on MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT, the Canon Rebel XS! My camera has been losing function for a good year now and we finally were able to get a new one with our Christmas money!
