Scholte's Spot: Christmas Part I

What a fun time we had celebrating Ella's first Christmas! We drove out to my family on Wednesday and ran a couple errands on our way in. We went to church with my parents on Christmas Eve and then enjoyed some yummy tacos for Christmas Eve dinner. We usually open gifts on Christmas Eve but with the kids so young, they get SUPER tired & cranky after church so it just isn't worth it anymore! Christmas morning was nice & relaxing and we enjoyed some cinnamon rolls (thanks Kelly!) and omelets. Jani & Julie and their families came over around 1 and we had a great lunch all together. Jill & her family got there around 3 and we opened presents! It's a CRAZY time with 9 kids running around but it was fun and we all enjoyed ourselves. Friday, my parents took Eric, Ella & me up to Oak Glen for lunch...it was COLD up there and there were even patches of ice where there was shade. It was fun to see some dusting of snow too! Then Friday night, we went out to dinner with Kelly & Chris and Chalet & Jim. It was so fun to meet Chalet's boyfriend and get to know him a little bit. Eric & I headed back to Chalet's parents house after and played some Wii...I know it's pathetic but that was our first time playing! We LOVED it...we did bowling & tennis and I'm still in awe at how in the heck they got those controllers to work with what you are doing...amazing!! We had a great Christmas out there and I can't believe it's all a memory!
