Christmas morning we accidentally slept in so long that we almost didn't have time to eat a big breakfast, open our presents and get ready to be at Gram's at noon. But we made it just fine. PD fried up the bacon in the microwave while I mixed the pancakes. Some favorite gifts this year were:
a baby doll for PK2 and clothes for the new American Girl for PK1:
All year I bought dress up clothes when I saw them on sale or at a thrift store because dress up clothes are probably the most played with toy at our house. Isn't this darling??
Tea Set and soft blankets:
This butter keeper for me..(I want points for putting this terrible picture of myself on here). I have wanted this for years and PD got me one. It allows you to keep the butter on the kitchen counter so it stays soft and spreadable. I want to get us completely off margarine this year.
A Milton Friedman shirt for my Deputy Policy Director Economist Husband:
And we did make it to Gram's in time..this is Papa's new nativity. He has the BEST Christmas decorations:
We had two days of celebrations at Gram and Papa's. It was wonderful. Papa got me an electric sander! That was my favorite gift this year because it was a complete surprise and because he said he got it for me because he saw how hard I worked on our window project this year. I have never had my own power tool before..it was the perfect gift!

Don't you just love thoughtful gifts. Mine was a sewing machine! It looks like you all had a great Christmas.

you should prob get a peanut butter keeper so you dont have to go to far every morning for those mini bagels;)...oh wait only eat half a mini bagel then eat the other mini half for lunch...
you can keep butter at room temperature???? I had no idea!! my life is forever changed. lol
I laugh at Katie's comment about the mini-bagel, but I do like your butter keeper and Jane's costume! And I'm too lazy to leave a separate comment on your next post, but I love your Christmas decorating as well: very Nester-ish.
