Christmas Eve was a lovely day. We started out slow, taking our time getting out of bed and getting ready for the day. Well, that is the adults in the house took our time!! I think the kids slept in a bit as well ;) Once we were up and at 'em, we headed to Stony Plain for our Cameron Christmas. For the past few years Cal's mom and his niece and nephew have come down from Grande Prairie but this year it was just the Stony Plain Cameron's and the Edmonton Cameron's. We decided to make it an appetizer dinner and it sure was yummy!! The kids and adults had a great time visiting and we opened our gifts from Grandma Bev :) It was a wonderful day! When we left Stony Plain that evening, we rushed home to change into our pj's and head to the family Christmas Eve Church service at our Church. This is one of my most favorite traditions :) We follow up the service by picking up fast food and checking out Christmas lights! After Candy Cane lane, we headed home to put out 'Christmas milk' (aka egg nog) and cookies (our homemade sugar cookies) for Santa! And Em spread her reindeer food :) Then it's off to bed for the kiddo's! Of course they took forever to fall asleep ;)

Christmas Day was sooooo relaxing!! It was really, really nice. Everyone was so happy to spend time figuring out their new gifts and playing with their new toys. We watched movies, played games and just chilled. Mom, Dad and Grandma Kelley came by for the afternoon and we had a really great, relaxing time :) I made a turkey roll and perogi casserole (soooo good, I'm craving it now, lol!) and we had Cal's homemade cheesecake for dessert (a Christmas tradition!), all enjoyed on our finest china. Oh and how could I forget the Christmas morning wifesaver we had for breakfast ... and I made the kids cinnamon buns because sometimes they don't care for the wifesaver (however, this year they did!)!

Boxing Day we headed to Mom and Dad's in Stony Plain for our 'Smith' Christmas! We picked up Grandma Kelley before we left the city and were a little later than we expected but we made up for lost time and ripped into our gifts as soon as we got there :) Mom always fills our stockings at her house and we opened those first! I love all our stocking gifts, so many fun, unique items!! Thanks Stony Plain Santa ;) We had another great day, playing games, putting Lego together, watching hockey and feasting on a delicious Christmas dinner!!
