For all of you who have told me that you wish you could be a fly on my wall this Christmas, I am going to do my best to give you an accurate picture :-) It has been the best Christmas ever! Big families are SO fun during the holidays. I have been quiet on the blog for the past few weeks as we have been busy preparing for the holidays. I just can't get it all done. Today is my day off. I told everyone that Mom is not cooking or cleaning today. I have been working on downloading pics and watching the kids play with all their new stuff. We did take a break and head outside to enjoy sledding in the snow. I will show that in a later post :-)
We started a new tradition: Eating Ethiopian food for Christmas Eve. We went to our local ET restaurant and picked up some Injera, yellow pea and cabbage. This mom made Doro Wat, Gomen, Beef Tibs and red lentils. It was lots of fun and yummy too!
Doro Wat (Chicken stew)
After dinner we rolled out cookie dough and made cookies for Santa. We enjoyed eating a few too!
The First Gift of Christmas...Every year the kids open one gift on Christmas Eve. It is always new matching PJ's.
Christmas pics to follow...it was a GREAT one!
How wonderful!!! Merry Christmas to your beautiful family!
