Merry Christmas everyone!
Yes, we made it through Christmas. It was a joyous event. The kids aren't allowed to start any Christmas activities until 7 am, when all of us are up and awake. I was the last one to arrive this year. I swear it was only 7:01..."It's about time, Mom."
Then the beginning of opening presents began.
Kyle got a new Skylanders set--pirates or something. He was pretty excited!
Jacob opened his Live Butterfly Garden first. Of course, we still have to send away for the caterpillars...but that will be fun.
Eric got a pair of Ninja Turtle loungs pants...you can see how happy he was. And that shirt he's wearing was new too. We love various cartoon characters and Eric is always a good sport to wear all the "kid-like" clothes I get him...
Even Ziggy got a toy...a stuffed Santa with 8 squeekers! He loves to rip these types of toys apart. (No, the squeekers didn't last long...he had them plucked out in no time at all). Crazy dog!
Brandon got some cool flute stuff, cleaning supplies and such...he looks pretty happy. :)
And Dallin got his very own electric blanket for his bed. He is going to LOVE that! (I think he takes after his mom in this department).
More pictures....
Yes, our living room is a mess! It wouldn't be Christmas otherwise...
I know this picture is hideous, but it's for posterity, after all. Yeah, we were tired, but happy.
It was a wonderful day filled with visits to/from family. I didn't clean the living room for several days and we left our tree up until New Years Eve day....which is really surprising and never happens. But Christmas just went way too fast this year...I needed to enjoy it a little bit longer.
Merry Christmas!
