Christmas

We had a GREAT Christmas this year! Santa done did treat us well! We started off witht he kids coming down at around 8:30. The kids loved how many presents were under the tree! Thanks to those secret santas!! We ate our orange rolls around 10:30 and then everyone got ready to go to Christmas brunch at mom and dads. It was a very nice relaxing day!! Everyone loved their gifts! They each got what they wanted from Santa. Sariah wanted Lara Croft, Tomb Raider for xbox 360, Caylie wanted the game of LIFE, Joseph wanted Lego Star Wars II for xbox 360, Jaren wanted Halo III for xbox 360 and Spencer, well he didn't have any requests but got some cute toys! Mom and dad got us date boxes! A bottle of Sparkling cider and some gift cards to go enjoy ourselves without the children. We got cards to Old Navy (can't forget the shopping), Olive Garden, Coldstone, and Stewart Andersons. Thanks Mom and Dad. The kids got starting with Sariah, a digital camera, that she doesn't like, it's not what she thought it was going to be, so It's going back to the store, and a fun hair kit thing where she can put colored streaks in her hair. Caylie got a much wanted Art Easel. If any of you know Caylie you would know that her passion is Art!! She opened it right up. It's like a professional easel and came with lots of paints, brushes, a pallet, and even some canvases. When she gets home this weekend I will have her pose with it! Joseph and Jaren got cool Darth Vader laptops. They are enjoying them. Spencer got his little ride on, push along car. He hasn't had the time to enjoy it yet, but I know that he will. All of us kids went together this year and made mom and dad a quilt with all the grandkids pictures on it. Theya really enjoyed it. Me being the dork that I am didn't get a pic. As soon as I get over there I'll take a pic and post it. It's awesome. We aren't professional seamstresses, but it turned out well!! All in all it was a very merry Christmas! Hope you all had the same!
