CHRISTMAS!!

What a great day!!! We have around 8 inches of NEW snow..and it's still snowing!! I woke up at 6:30am and started the turkey, which was DELICIOUS!!! I marinated it in lemon with soy sauce mixed with Dijon mustard. Then I made gravy out of the marinade. I added substitute for dry sherry (wine) and chicken broth! turned out sooooo yummy and so lemony!! We had Matt's brothers family with us for Christmas and their son got flying helicopters that shoot lasers at each other....it's pretty cool..so needless to say all of the boys have been flying their helicopters. Well I went out around 11:30am to start shoveling and then I came back in so excited that it was perfect snowman making snow. So Matt put on his snow boots and out we went. Well...we decided not to snowmen so we made snowangels...well...Matt decided it would be fun to tackle me..so we got in a pretty fun all be it COLD tussel. We got some pretty cool pictures that Mollie took for us! Then it was so cute...Jeriah loved to take off the bows and only the bows....once they were off, he was done with the present! LOL It was so cute, Jeriah's cousin Eric is about 12 and Jeriah just couldn't get enough of him. It was so cute. Jeriah always wanted to be with him and Eric was sweet enough to play with him and let Jeriah hang out with him. And then Jeriah got a CUTE teddy bear that says...MY FIRST CHRISTMAS!!Soooooo cute..and from the picture you can tell that Jeriah loves it!!! We played a game of Killer Bunnies last night and while we were playing I made cream puffs and onion rings and cheese sticks and somehow...I still won! I was very proud of myself! Yeah for me. Then Mollie got a game called In a Pickle which we plan on playing tonight. Anyways, I'm going to do a slideshow and a video clip, I hope you enjoy them!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I have been wanting to build a snowman for a while too. Jayden and I can't seem to get the courage to brave the snow. It sounds like you had a fun Christmas dinner and lots of good presents.

I just love that picture with Jeriah and Eric where Jeriah is grinning from ear to ear. He looks SO happy! It sounds like you guys had a very Merry Christmas. I am so glad, and enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Is the "In a Pickle" game any good? I was looking at it at the store a week or so ago and was wondering.

Well...it can be fun. I didn't really enjoy it because of Matt's brother. He whines and complains about everything and even though he is almost 40..he is still very immature.
I don't think it is a game I would buy though.
