'Twas 3 Days After Christmas..

And Shelby finally got to her holiday post
Though she wasn't the last
She was later than most
Hopefully Santa was good to you
He was very good to our kid
Check out the photos below
To see how Rex did!

His big gift from Santa was a new playhouse. Rob wants to put a skull and crossbones and flag on it to make it look like a pirate hangout. We'll see.



Anything with Elmo is a big hit. He liked the slippers ok (too hard to get around with them on though) but he loved the Elmo Encore Live doll that talks. Rob and I think Rex believes that really is Elmo in our living room, talking to him!




The rocking horse didn't get put together until Sunday but here he is, having a grand time riding it.



Rex got so many presents- you can check out Flickr to see the rest of the photos with Rex opening his presents and playing with his toys.

On to the food! We had a roast with potatoes, carrots and celery, as well as some dinner rolls and jello. I didn't take pictures of anything but my Christmas tree shaped jello. I was just so excited that I got to use my Christmas tree mold for the first time and that I actually got the jello out of the mold without incident! Then I kind of forgot about everything else. Oops. Here's my jello.



The best thing about the roast though was probably making beerocks (something we miss from Fresno and also sometimes spelled bierocks) with the leftovers the next day. Yum!! This photo is of Rob's plate and beer- I just had the beerocks.



Here I am on Christmas Eve, making eggnog sugar cookies to give out as part of our Christmas treats. Truth be told, most of these stayed here in our house because they are Rob's favorite and he was not willing to part with many. Rob actually took this picture because we thought it was funny that I was barefoot and pregnant and cooking in the kitchen.



Hope you all had a wonderful time like we did!
