Christmas at home

We had our first visit from Santa Claus this year! Santa Claus made a visit because the Halloween Fairy was such a hit at our home this year. You collect all your candy for the Halloween Fairy and you're not supposed to eat any of it, but instead you leave it out for the Halloween Fairy and she brings you a present for all the candy you collected for her....she needs the candy to make fairy dust ;-)

So we visited with Santa in Michigan, wrote him an email and Jasper asked him to bring him a pop-up book and a snowman--which he did, after eating the cookies (little Japanese ones) and milk we left out for him.

We had a few friends over for dinner Christmas Eve, George and Joy, Lisa, Brian and Zane and then Chad's brother Chris came over on Christmas day. Very mellow and wonderfully chill. We had a very merry Star Wars Christmas, surprise, surprise!
My gift to Chad was a Marc Ecko hoodie that has Star Wars embroidery on it and my big gift from Chad was a ForceFX Darth Vader lightsaber. We also got great Star Wars gifts from my sister Lichee, Chad's Grandma's Rose and Simpson, Chad's sister Jen. The kids got Chad a DVD of the Star Wars Christmas Special (which George Lucas supposedly said if he could hunt down every copy of it he would destroy them :-) the DVD also had the Muppet Show with guest stars Mark Hamill, R2D2, C3PO, Chewbacca which Jasper has watched almost every day since Christmas.
