So before this year of CRAP is over, I figured I should pump out some Christmas pictures! I mean Christmas does come before New Years after all.

Christmas eve was spent at the parentals with my Moms side of the family (since we usually see my Dads side a few days after). We had dinner and opened presents and then all hung out until it was time for Midnight Mass.

Little Cousin Zoey

Mom is excited for presents!

Chad setting up my new laptop.

I bought Steven NHL 10 for PS3 so you know the boys were obsessed.

After dinner and presents we headed to my uncles for Midnight Mass, and then off to bed for a little amount of sleep.

We spent Christmas Morning at home this year. We were late risers, which meant we were late arrived at Casa Ciavarro for breakfast, but oh well, it’s Christmas Morning!

Chad and I opened our stockings and our gifts to each other. A lot of DVDs and books and kitchen things. You know, the usual.

The epic amount of presents.

Jonas and Emily playing with their new things.

Emily had a glass of White Wine for breakfast.

Spoiled again. Chad and I came away with a boat load of gifts. Olympic merch, Computer games, Body Shop gear, just tons of stuff.

After breakfast and opening presents, everyone took their stuff and scattered. Chad and I headed upstairs for some relaxation and nap time. Chad passed out, but I didn’t of course. Instead, I got cat fur in my eye and attempted to suffer the consequences for the next three hours. I don’t know how people live with cats even when they are allergic. I would seriously go mental.

After nap time and hanging out all afternoon, we headed over to Grandma Heagles for dinner and more family time.

Molly was all dressed up in her Christmas outfit.

Nice hat their buddy.

A shinny pen from the Christmas Cracker that I forgot to bring home to me. I also love how out of focus and crappy the one picture of me at Christmas is. I really need to get Chad to participate in photographing me more often.

Can we please take a look at how much grease Chads crown absorbed. OMG so gross.

A little Creme Brule and Butane for dessert!

The musical act for the evening. Connor got a new guitar and Eric was showing us how its done!

Twins.

Tex and Rex got wasted when no one was looking.

You can’t go to Grandma Heagles and not have 100 pictures of puppies. You know how obsessed we are with them.

Over all Christmas was a success. I really was not expecting to get a lot of gifts considering I was asking for some pretty pricy items, but I lucked out. I took pictures of everything and will post them to flickr soon. Chad actually got more clothes then me, but I really don’t need any.

Christmas was a pretty good end to a pretty crappy year, the only thing that sucked was kissing too many Italians and then getting this cold. I love how 2009 decided to jab me one last time on its way out!

Tonight we are off to a little house party tucked away in the suburbs of Surrey. Tomorrow will be the first day of 2010 and hopefully the first day to a much better year.
