Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!!  It has been a really busy break thus far, with so much to do!!  Gifts to buy, gifts to make, dinners to go to, treats to make and dinners to prepare....the list is just endless!!  More blogs on that later.  

We had my in-laws over for xmas dinner this year.  In the morning, we gave Ali her first Christmas gift - a kitty cat doll named Sammy.  It is such a simple doll to make, but it took me forever.  Mind you, I am the kind of crafter that takes like 10 minutes to sew a straight line.   Ali seemed to quite like it and when I brought it out, she said cat right away.  Well, at least she can tell it is a cat!  I feel so accomplished.  Hahaha.... 

I don't know why we always forget to take pictures of our dinner.  We had SO MUCH FOOD!!  It was unreal.  My sister-in-law and her hubby were cooking the bird this year - huge relief for us and we were supposed to make the sides and the cousins were bringing some dessert.  Somehow, everyone brought something over and our tables were just loaded with food.  The dinner was delicious!  Thanks everyone for bringing over food!

Here is a picture of Grandma and Santa-baby:

After dinner, family got together and spent some quality time with the kids.

Time to open some presents!!  Ali seemed to be more interested in the wrapping paper than the actual gift.  Maybe I should have just wrapped ten empty boxes as Xmas presents instead.

 Aside from Ali trying to escape from Gran, this is a decent family pic:

Ali torn between these two boys....hahah...they were just hilarious!  Ali does adore her Uncle Andrew tho!

Ali has NEVER, like NEVER, given anybody a real kiss before.  She always does this "headbutt kiss", but NEVER a real kiss.  So when we asked Ali to give Andrew a kiss, we expected that she would just headbutt him on his head, but no no no, she gave him a real kiss.  We actually taped this momentous moment, but then for some reason, I couldn't load the video on blogger.  Oh well, I will give it another go next time.

Thank you for spending your Christmas with us this year!  Wishing you and your family the very best in 2011!
