Christmas this year was spent in St. Louis, MO with my parents. Aiden and I left earlier than Jeremy because his leave didn't start until the 21st of December and I really needed some extra family time. So, my sister Rachel and brother, Ben came out Friday the 18th and we left on Saturday the 19th to go out to my parents house. So we got the extra 2 days before Jeremy got out there. We had a nice relaxing week. We celebrated my mom's birthday on the 22nd by going to a really great Italian restaurant. It was rated in Sauce magazine and Zaggat as one of the best in St. Louis. And we all agreed, they gave us waaaayyy too much food, but it was delicious! Then we also wrapped Christmas presents, I finished making all of my Christmas cards and got them in the mail. We vegetated and watched Christmas movies. We finished our Christmas shopping. On Christmas Eve we went to the early service at church, then we had dinner, opened our pajamas, and read " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas".
Aiden put out reindeer food for the "reindeer" (Bitsy, my parents dog), cookies and milk for Santa, which he promptly ate and drank himself...So cute, if you ask me. Then we put him to bed, and set up everything to look like Santa had been here. When Aiden got up in the morning around 10 we started opening presents, and it took us 4 hours total there were so many of them. Aiden had sooo much fun! He made out like a bandit, as you can see! 
Jordan, my brothers girlfriend came over around noon and opened presents with us, then spent the afternoon and evening with us playing games and being lazy. Then on, Saturday we were just lazy mostly. Mom, Rachel and I went shopping a bit, and got Aiden his dance shoes and a few things to augment what we got for Christmas. Then we went out for dinner at the country club to celebrate my birthday a couple of days early. When we got back, I opened my presents, had my dessert and started packing up to leave on Sunday. Sunday morning we left between 10 and 12, and got home around 7pm.
