For our Christmas Day dinner, we decided on surf 'n turf. So later in the afternoon we headed down to Central Market and purchased 3 live dungeness crabs. Pete let the boys help pick out the crabs. We came home, cooked and cleaned them. Both boys watched as Pete put the crabs in the boiling pot of water, but Clifford was the only one interested in helping to de-shell the crabs.
Our Christmas Eve dinner tradition has been to eat out. We originally planned on going out to Red Robin, but at the last minute, we settled for some Papa Murphey's Pizza. We grubbed on some greasy goodness while watching some xmas family movies.
This is our family Christmas gift: Xbox 360 with Kinect. We bought it a week prior to Christmas. Of course, it didn't make it under the tree. It was immediately hooked up and furniture moved out of the way. We love it!! And you can see just how excited Pete is to have it by the look on his face in the pic below :)
Getting in to make Santa's cookies!
Typically on Christmas Eve we only let the boys open one gift, which is always a new pair of pajamas. This time around we let them open more than one. Their neighbor friends came over after breakfast and gave each boy a gift. Then that night we let them open the gift from Aunt Janet and Uncle Tom (bag full of miscellaneous craft items). They also opened up their new pj's. In the last pic, Clifford isn't smiling. He's upset because we won't let him open up a 'toy' gift :)
