Life as I know it!: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This Christmas was as magical as I thought it would be. Drayden is old enough to understand the concept of giving with family and friends. He's just as excited to give gifts than to receive them. This year Christmas started at our home with Oma, Pépère, Mario, Talia, Francis, Terra, Nick, Anna, Pierre, Krystal and Nathyn. Drayden was pretty excited to have his cousins come over to play! Oma made a nice turkey dinner and then we opened gifts. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Drayden got busy opening gifts until his second gift...a Home Depot Toolbox from uncle Mario and auntie Talia....that was it after that! He wasn't interrested in anything else. It honestly made his Christmas. After the gang left, Drayden went to bed...with his toolbox...no questions about it!
The next morning, Santa came over to Mommy and Daddys' house. Drayden was so happy to see that Santa came over to bring cadeaux's! Down the stairs he came ...with his toolbox to open up gifts. I have to be honest here and say that Drayden was interessted for a little while before he wanted to play with his tools and new shovel from Santa. I guess Santa brought snow too because he we're getting a green Christmas before that!!! After the big gift opening at our house we went to Nana and Grand-papa's house; Drayden brought his toolbox. We had muffins and cookies with coffee or orange juice. Chantal and the gang came too...the kids played with their new gifts and we exchanged ours too...Happy faces all 'round! We stayed for dinner and it was good...as always. After our big day went home to bed. Boxing day was the Annual Bouchard Reunion, our whole gang was there..including Krystal and Nathyn. It was great food, much fun and Drayden was fast asleep on the way home. We also had a visit with Auntie Amanda so the kids could exchange their gifts!
New Years Eve was a getting together at Denis and Oula's house...again with great food and company. Unfortunetly when you have kids you don't always tend to make it till midnight! We left the party and went to bed! You knwo you're getting old when...
