December 13th Christmas arrived in Surrey at the Green house! We had a great early Christmas (yes Santa came early ; - ) with Gramma, Auntie Joey and Morgan. It was an awesome holiday weekend instead of having a traditional turkey dinner Aaron and i picked up Lobster (with all the fixings) for everyone. Auntie Joey and Aaron looked up a recipe online as none of us had every cooked lobster before. They found a great recipe and baked the lobsters in the oven and i have to tell you they were delicious! Probably the best lobster i've ever had. Christmas morning was really fun - this year Lily really 'GOT IT' Anderson enjoyed it too he especially loved watching his big sister tear into all of her presents once she got to them. Every present she wanted to stop, open and play, very cute. She got her Babay Belle (Beauty and the Beast) from Santa (thanks Gramma! Lily loves her). Baby Belle was the only thing she asked for from Santa anfter she had seen a commercial for it on tv while we were out east. (**That is a whole other story though as we didn't realize the power of marketing to kids until then!) As our family Christmas weekend was ending we ent for a walk up to the local starbucks in our 'first snowfall' of the season (& Anderson's first ever!)

The thing i realized is that Christmas is about being with family and no matter what the weekend was; it was a great Christmas! Merry Christmas!
