Christmas 2010

We had a nice, quiet Christmas. Elly was getting over the stomach flu, so we kept to ourselves. It was nice staying in our PJs most of the day. :)

Santa got us a toothbrush!

We checked out our stocking gifts first...then had an eggs and sausage breakfast before opening the rest of our gifts.

The boys were superexcited to give everyone the presents they bought at the Christmas store at our church. Here Elly's opening a Care Bear that Mac bought her. Mac got me a very "nice" vase. Still not sure where I'm going to hide...I mean place that one. :)

Do you like the hat Nate got Sam? It fits him nicely...

The directions specifically said to "not shoot arrows inside", however, we rarely keep those silly safety rules in the Eliason household (we will with the real deal). Thanks Grandma and Papa Eliason!

Thanks for the zhu zhu pet Grandma and Papa Glaser! Mac loves these things!

Nate trying out his skateboard ramp from Santa. Might need to get some better knee and elbow pads when we try this on concrete...not sure yet when we'll let him try this on a surface where he could actually break a bone (eeks!).

Elly loved all her new doll stuff. I love watching how she takes care of her dollies. I'm sure she gets her sweet, nurturing, patient ways from watching her mama (yeah right!) I do my best. :)

We got the boys battleship. It's been fun playing with them.

This was our big gift for the boys. It's one of those 15 in 1 game tables. Got it for deal....$30 off Craig's list.

Nate's been into pool the most. They both love playing the pop-a-shot.

Photobucket
Elly got to play a little.

I got Sam a "man basket" that I bid on at an auction. It had a poker set, beer, soda, lots of snacks and a unlimited topping large pizza coupon. Perfect for a guys night. Sam's looking forward to having a poker night with some friends.

We had a great Christmas. It was quiet. Elly ended up coming down with a bad cold starting on Christmas, after recovering from the stomach bug, so we've continued to lay low. She's doing good now...we'll try not to wear the poor kid out the rest of Christmas break. :)
