Better late than never, right??? I know, I know. I have discovered the joys of Pinterest and I do THAT at night now instead of blogging. I will try to do better....
We had this amazing feast on Christmas Eve and it was so dang fun!! We had so much food, so we all had to stuff ourselves silly for days to finish it off. My dad spent the night, so he wouldn't miss the fun. It was great having him with us on Christmas Morning. My mom went to see my brother, Devin in Oregon before Christmas and he asked her if she could stay until after Christmas. She changed her flight home and stayed with Devin and his daughter, Rachel. It was hard to share Grandma, since we were planning on her being with us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but we understood Devin needs time with her, too! :) Having Grandpa spend the night was super fun and we stayed up until midnight on Christmas Eve....what in the world???? We were playing Monopoly.....
I remember waking up at like 5am on Christmas morning, and I am happy to say, my kids have never once gotten up earlier than 7:30am! YAY!!
Sasha got some Lego Friends and had fun setting them up! My girls LOVE these; they are darling!!
Cute little Addie with her LalaLoopsy. She has quite a collection now!
Ah, Seth got LEGO'S, too! He had that thing built in like 20 minutes. LOVE his face in this picture!
Noah had fun getting into everyone else's stuff which was pretty much hilarious.....to Will and I and not to his siblings! Ha ha!! He did get this cute little train and toy behind him that he has liked! LOVE that baby boy so much!!
Then there was Audrey Anne, the last to wake up that morning. She was not quite sure what was going on at this point when I snapped this picture. She got some fun play food and a cute doll like her sisters. What a fun day this was!
We had a great Christmas and enjoyed the SNOW that started falling on Christmas Eve and keep coming down all through the holidays. We took the big kids sledding at the high school and they loved it even though the temps were in the teens. Brrrrr!! We spent our Christmas Break here at home, playing games, eating way too many cookies and just enjoying this wonderful life we have. We are so blessed and feel so very grateful for it all. We rang in the new year by banging pots and pans outside on our porch in the freezing cold night! **YIKES** Happy New Year and so far 2013 has been wonderful..........
