Christmas Eve

We had Bernie and Martha over for Christmas Eve tonight. I made chili and cornbread muffins for dinner (perfect for a cold night!) and we exchanged Christmas presents. David and I gave Bernie and Martha gifts through Oxfam: a cooking stove for a family in need (in Bernie's honor) and a school meal program for a child in need (in Martha's honor). They gave us a great Blu-Ray player with Wi-fi and a year's subscription to Netflix--you can create a list online that automatically pulls up on the Blu-Ray player to watch on TV. How cool is that?! Perfect for the parents of 2 little ones who don't get out much :)

Some of Leah's gifts: a soft little teddy bear, a Glow Worm,

and car seat toys (along with 3 new sleepers)

Joshua got his very own basketball goal that adjusts
as he gets taller (both in height and the diameter of the rim)

And a second basketball ("Rameses ball")

Joshua loved this Cars storybook with a pull-out

playmat of Radiator Springs and all the character cars

so he can act out the story (this was a big hit!)

How cool is this Radio-Flyer 2-in-1 tricycle?

When he gets bigger, it transforms into a

big-wheel style cruiser...I can already picture

him flying down the street in front of the house

on this thing!

What a fun night with family! :)
