We had a fabulous Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at my mom's for our traditional raclette dinner. We got a huge snow storm that started in the afternoon and continued through Christmas morning, so it really felt like Christmas. My stepmom, Joy, was here from Phoenix and Lisa was with us, too. We had a wonderful dinner, read some Christmas stories and played Taboo. It was the kids' first experience with Taboo and I was surprised at how well they played. Since then Tristan has asked if we could play again sometime.
We were up EARLY Christmas morning and enjoyed watching the kids open their gifts. The highlight was Tristan and Jolie's excitement at finally getting a video game system, the ever-coveted Wii. Tristan has been asking Santa for a Game Cube or other system for two or three years and he was absolutely convinced that he was the most unlucky kid in the world because he didn't have access to video games 24/7. It turns out that one of his favorite games on the Wii is NBA Live 2008 with which he can play any NBA team against the Jazz (see photo).
We enjoyed the rest of day with my parents, aunt Lisa and Grandma Joy. We ate great food, opened more gifts, spoke to far-away friends and family on the telephone, and enjoyed each other's company. It was a great day!
