Petite Bites and Gift Exchange
On Christmas Eve, one of the savviest moms I know threw a gift exchange for the kids. She also made a table full of petite bites, each one deliciously mouthwatering.

| These were tender and delicious. |
 |
| Aren't these mini sandwiches the best idea? |
You know you are having fun when time flies. All of a sudden, clock turned 2 p.m. and I sadly pried our toddler to leave. (I know, evil mommy :O) )
Presents Under the Tree
At night, after a not-so-fun run in the rain, I came home to a hot shower, and stayed up until early morning to finish wrapping.

Unwrapping the Fun
Excitedly, our family unwrapped presents in the morning. To avoid spoiling our children, we purposely reduced the amount of presents to five each. Still, Jo received more than she had time to play with, and was able to have fun with each one.
Like me as a little girl, Jo's favorite were Lego blocks.
 |
| Fun for my daughter. Fun for me :O) |
And thanks to hubby, I now have the easiest coffee machine.
 |
| No mess and no fuss - Keurig is the best! |

A Nap, for All of Us
After presents, our family enjoyed savory eggs and sausages for brunch.
Nap time is an absolution at our house. It gives the toddler rest and keeps parents sane. Luckily, Jo went down quickly, and granted my husband and I two hours to watch a Christmas movie.

| Christmas movies are sweeter with bananas in nutella and truffles. |
