Merry Christmas! 2009

Well the big day came and went. Lair & Quinn went sledding on Christmas Eve in the later afternoon. In doing so, Quinn also got a Christmas Shiner as he landed on his face!! But he was a good sport.




Quinn was so excited Christmas Eve, yet he put himself to bed because the faster he got to sleep the faster Christmas Morning would come.

Lair & Quinn made cookies for Santa, we watched a special, hung the stockings, put out cookies, milk a tart and a carrot for Rudolf.

As well, Santa sent Quinn a video via e-mail! (It may take a few moments to load up)

And lastly we checked where Santa was on NORAD and he was in South America!

He was super excited because of these presents under the tree...

So imagine how he felt when he saw THESE under the tree!:

Christmas Morning Quinn was up at 8am and burst into our room. He open his present from Santa, Hungry Hungry Hippos, we opened our Stockings, then slowly sifted through the pile of gifts. We took our time and relaxed.

Lair then made us Eggs Benedict with a few new additions - asiago cheese dip!? OMG so good!

We hung out and relaxed and played with Quinn's new toys, then headed over to Janine and Mikes for Christmas dinner. Her cousin Christina (who both Lair & I know) was there with her b/f. It was a casual and fun evening.

So all in all, this Christmas turned out to be A-ok with no stress!

Yesterday, Boxing Day, we went car shopping and decided we just don't have the finances for what we want/need right now. We are Debt free and do not want to take on much more, so we'll wait and see how January goes, how much money we can save and go from there. We will get a second vehicle, just not sure when... Maybe when the Money Fairy stops by!?... Come on Lady - we just want $10,000!!! Is that too much to ask for??
