Christmas at the Brown's

Saturday the 27th, was Christmas morning at our house. Santa brought Elli this trampoline which she loves! he also brought her a book, a puzzle and an outfit. Santa brought me a half day trip to a spa and a weekend away with the girls. Santa brought Brent enough socks to replace his whole drawer, (Just what he always wanted), an electric razor, new shoes, and a shirt. it was a fun morning.

After opening gifts at our house, we went to my parents for Christmas bruch. It was delicious as always, then on to the mound of gifts. We all got some very wonderful things. Most memorable, Elli's piggy bank and laptops, Lori's new clothes and purse, also a few house decorations, and Brent's saw. All goodies are appreciated and are being/will be used. Thank you all!!!!! (family, count this as your thank you card this year:)

After celebrating at my parents', we went to Leah and Matt's for Christmas dinner of stroganoff and asparagus with homemade bread from Heather. (all delicious once again) We played air hockey and ping pong, then went to the very crowded zoo. It was only about 65 degrees or warmer, so it was very busy this year. Elli really wanted to see the elephants, but we managed a few other exhibits along the way. She got kissed by a reindeer, laughed at the monkeys, saw the "kitties" and then gawked at the elephants. We had a good time and will hopefully do it again next year. This is the 2nd trip and it would be a fun tradition to keep around as long as they do the lights:)
Merry Christmas everyone.
