We celebrated with the Van Leeuwen side of the family on Christmas Eve. We had a delicious lasagna dinner, family time and lots of gifts! The kids all had a great time opening presents. London was sleeping at 7, so I opened hers. :) We came home around 10 and left cookies and milk for Santa.
On Christmas Day, we stayed home. We did our gift exchange with the kids in the morning, and then Gramma Joan came over a little later. Brandon took care of our meal, and it was amazing! Roasted lamb shanks with herb butter and mire poir, leeks with bacon, and brussel sprout & red potato hash. For dessert we had Gramma's pumpkin cheesecake and my German Chocolate cake (Jesus' birthday cake that Hudson and I had made the day before). We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and Hudson blew out the candles. (A fun tradition we have done twice now.)
