Christmas Day 2009 at the McD house was a blessed one. Our boys received just what they asked Santa for and we enjoyed some quiet family time together at our house that day. As usual, L didn't want to pose, but here's one decent shot before the ripping of paper commenced -
Such cute boys...rarin' to go!
First things first - wonder what's in our stocking? Santa brought J his very own M1ckey Mouse watch all the way from WDW!
The boys also received some yummy fruit from Santa - oranges and pears. Santa was sweet to bring L one of the few treats he can eat with chocolate in it - oreos!
However, L decided the fruit looked a bit tastier to him...daddy quickly grabbed it and cut some up for him!
In the meantime, L decided the oreos would do.
While L was trying to figure out what he could eat, J was busy with his gifts. He just "KNEW" what this present was...
...MOUSETRAP!!! Santa came through once again. ;)
The boys had so much fun TOGETHER. J was a helpful big brother and explained L's presents to him. And of course, showed him how to use them!
L LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the present his brother gave him - a music playin', ball poppin' lawn mower. A huge hit and I don't even mind it, unless I'm on the phone. Those balls are loud when they pop and can't be muted. But the smile on his face when he is pushing it around is worth the noise!
We had our backs turned for a minute, only to realized L had pulled all of the oreos out of the box and had them laying all around him! Five oreos later, he was a little wired, but a happy boy! Christmas Day PART TWO - The Annual McBird Celebration
We have had dinner with our best buds on Christmas evening for the past few years, and about 3-4 years ago started "traveling" somewhere. Last year it was Germany. We decided to keep it local this year, and had Christmas in College Station. But really, it should have just been dubbed "Christmas at the Chicken" since most all of our food was inspired by the famous location.
No meal at the chicken would be complete with a little sangria. We have an inside scoop - since my hubby worked there, he knows ALL the tricks on how the food, drinks, and most importantly, the TIJUANA FRIES are made. It was awesome.
The kids had a blast and got into the holiday spirit with a little dancing. I wish I had taken more pictures of the food (the fries...they were awesome and beautiful!), but I'll leave you with a couple more pictures of our sweet, crazy kiddos. It's such a blessing for us, and our boys, to have such wonderful friends.
Oh, and I must say we were sad the Flores family could not join us this year. They are usually out of town, but due to an impending arrival, weren't traveling this year. So for the FIRST time they were going to be with us! Well, Baby H had other ideas and arrived 3 days before Christmas. We love her and are so happy she is here (and is beautiful and perfect), but we did miss them!
