another update on previous page as well.
Chapter 9. A Christmas Story
I am sorry for the delay in this update, i finally got all the pictures from my dad that i needed for it.
We had to do our christmas with them on the 23rd, because my BIL was on shift the 24th
And normally christmas is held upstairs in the living room, well this is my parents presents for each other,
You add that with this,
and there is not enough room
So it was moved downstairs into there other family room.
Here is a straigh on shot, normally there is atable there, but they used a spare tree for this event.
and the three grandchildren
my sister asked me if they could give parker and extra gift besides what they bought him...i was like sure whatever floats your boat...she said now it did not cost us anything we got it from scott, her husbands sister.
i said okay turned out it was a ton of tomas the train stuff
all of these trains, plus under that was a huge box full of tracks and more cars...if you bought them in the store easily over 200 dollars, we were pumped and so was parker, they are his favorite.
candi sporting her new colts gear.
and then his big present from my parents was a train table to put all of his new tracks on.
he could not wait for us to open it up and play with it.
we started opeing presents around 2:30 and were done at 5:00
it was time for dinner
this tradition started as long ago as i can remember we would have fondue with my grandparents at there house for our christmas eve dinner
if you are not aware of what it is or have never done it before. this is what it looks like
we always have some sort of cheese potato with it.
notice parkers mickey head plate
so the meal, you take meat, marinade it, (my mom does this in a soy sauce, italian dressing mixture) for usually 2 days.
then you put it on the stick and cook it in the pot.
we used to use oil, but that is very fattening for you, and it made your clothes and house smell like it for about a week afterwards.
so a few years ago we switched to beef stock, a little better for you does not take away the flavor and does not smell your clothes up or the house.
it takes a maybe 3 or 4 minutes for your meat to cook all the way through especially with eveyrone cooking at the same time...so it can be a long meal depending how much you eat.
i am usually the last one eating, i dont eat alot of the other food becaues i love the meat so much and my brother in law recently turned over to my side we take down the beef at this meal.
so everyone was done he had his pot i had mine, i also collected everyone elses forks...and used em on my side of the table.
this was my last batch cooking, all of those are mine.
it was time to play with the toys downstairs which was alot of fun
the boys had to try on there matching disney cool guy jackets
christmas morning at our house.
bubby waking up
i wont bore you with more toy pictures but candi did get her princess doll to have for a little girl if we have one.
santa brought parker a bounce house castle he loves it
here is alittle video when he first got in there.
he thought of putting the balls in the holes right away, we did not even think of it, and he does not stop til has a spot for each one...
then that afternoon we went to my grandmas house on my dads side for gifts and unch there.
then made the trek to candis side for dinner and the weekend...
we had a great time and are very thankful for all the great things we have gotten this year.
hope you guys enjoyed it.
