Thanksmas

Saturday morning we had our Thanksmas. Ben made tea pastries and we opened presents in our pj's. I must say, for having a small Christmas, we sure did have some stellar gifts this year. Kent passed down his childhood wooden train to Eli. Well, actually it must be shared among all the grandkids, but Eli's the only boy right now, so he gets first dibs for awhile. Nonetheless, it was an extremely special gift. Jordan and Sophie gave Alison a pink box full of princess cupcake decorating things with the promise to make cupcakes later that afternoon. I thought this was the perfect gift for her. She loves to be in the kitchen and what great memories she'll have spending time with her aunt and uncle. Elizabeth made the kids each an outfit and Alison has yet to take hers off :) She also made them each a puppet which they have LOVED playing with. We ended our Christmas with our annual pizza cook off. I can't tell you who won or what kind of pizza was made, but I heard they were all good.

The pizzas were all good, you are right about that. I'm just sorry that the smell of the sauces cooking and the pizzas baking made you so nauseous.
