Christmas Eve 2008

It was a great Christmas Eve for us this year. We started it off right with a yummy breakfast of Gigi Puffs, bacon, and orange juice. Then it was on to the war of the Wii. Everyone got into the game and played and played and played! Hunter dominated at boxing, beating Dave, Baka, and ME!! Grandma Miles was awesome at bowling and of course the Munk trio, Dave, Baka, and Aunt A were the experts at golf! Hayden schooled us all at baseball and Harley was the tennis guru!

After we forced the kids to turn off the Wii we proceeded with our Christmas Eve festivities! We started with the reenactment of the birth of Christ, Munk style, then it was off to open presents from cousins and Maka, Baka, and Great Grandma Miles.

The hit of the night was from the Penn. Cousin's. They were dead on with the gifts they gave the kids. It was hard to get Hunter away from his gift to open the other presents or even to eat. He has carried that book with him all weekend devouring the information about every President. And of course Hayden has toted his Littlest Pet Shops and Harley could not wait to get home and set up her make-up (hallelujah we have our bathroom drawers back!)

Then it was time for a delicious roast and potato dinner...this is my favorite part of going to Maka's house! After dinner we drove to Angie's house and had another Christmas Eve party! It was fun opening presents from Grandma and Grandpa B and making cookies for Santa! Matt is the luckiest of us all now that he is the proud owner of Never Nude shorts, compliments of Tobias Funke (Arrested Development). Harley got a scripture bag (sure hope she gets something to put in that!) and some shirts, Hunter got a new Jr Jazz size basketball and a football, and Hayden got a football (which was supposed to be the "big" present) but was more interested in the animal coloring book...Shocking! Grandma and Grandpa got some good stuff too! It was a great night and we had a lot of fun, but when we left everyone was so so so tired we all went straight to bed!
