Merry Christmas (again!)

Christmas celebrations continued on Wednesday and Thursday as we spent time with Jeff's family. Once again we stuffed ourselves with food, received lots of wonderful gifts and had a good time laughing and relaxing with some of our favorite people.

As seems to be usual, the biggest joy was watching Ben enjoy Christmas and light up with each new present (and cookie!) he received. The biggest surprise of the night was his very own power wheels truck which he still needs a little practice to master driving. :) By the time it is nice enough to venture outside, he should be a pro though! I didn't snap any pictures, but I took some video that I will try to figure out how to get on here eventually.

Jeff helped to prepare an amazing prime rib (or so I'm told....bleeding meat is not my thing!) and lots of yummy crab legs. Cookies were frosted and eaten with no regard for our waistlines and wine flowed freely. I'm sure this sounds familiar to some of you :) We spent Christmas Day with extended family at Jeff's grandma Jean's house and his aunt Candy's. More presents, more food and more fun! Here are some pics from Christmas Eve (click the collage to see them bigger). More pics can be seen online here: http://picasaweb.google.com/tiffanylynn/Christmas2008?feat=directlink

Check back later today for a baby Hallie update. I have an appointment this afternoon and am hoping for word of more progress. If you haven't put in your guesses for the date and time of her arrival, there is still time! Go here to enter them and get in on the fun: http://www.expectnet.com/games/babyerdall
