We have been so privileged to have Cory's parents here for Christmas this year!
On Christmas eve the kids made Rice Krispie treats for Santa and Grandma helped them cut out Christmas shapes. The kids could hardly wait to see if Santa ate all of them the next morning. Briggs was thrilled to see that indeed Santa did eat them all and he even left on half-eaten one on the plate.
We had a nice dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu with green beans, Lion House Rolls and sparkling cider. Yum!!
Then we did our annual Christmas Program and we were able to skype with Ben and Jodi's family! It was really fun. Their kids did the Alvin and the Chipmunks with Ben and it was hilarious!! The kids loved watching them "sing." I sang jingle bells...solo....since my little Ethan got stage fright--complete with bells!! Cory did the Haka (wearing his island get-up and everything.) Briggs refused to do anything along with Grandpa ;-) and Grandma read the Christmas story and Jodi another story with a lamb and the birth of Jesus. It was really nice. Next year this Hansen family is going BIG!! We'll be ready to rival Alvin and the Chipmunks!!
The kids watching their cousins. Totally enthralled!
After our program we had chocolate fondue! Yummy!! The kids loved it!
We finished off the night watching one of our favorite movies The Family Man (the edited version) and eating Rice Krispie Treats ;-)
