Christmas Day

 We had a wonderful Christmas Day! We woke up around 7:00 a.m. and the kids came and got us out of bed and we made our way downstairs. 

The kids found their stockings all stuffed with special little goodies! Of course Santa brings socks and underwear....he's so thoughtful, but he also brought books for Jared to read to the kids this year and journals and play dough and cards and make-up and little hand tools. We are very blessed! Thanks Santa!!

Jared and I got Eli a little Ninja swords set. 

 So Jared and Eli practiced their sweet moves on each other. Jared also bought me that rug set that came with a 7x5 foot rug, a floor runner rug, and a 3x2 foot rug for by our kitchen sink. It's nice to have soft things to stand on or wipe your feet on. 

 In the afternoon we had family over for a nice Christmas dinner. Grandma Anne and New Grandpa Chuck came which was a surprise but also a delight, along with Uncle Dan, Betty's brother. Jerry and Betty,  Dusty and Megann's, Byron and Jemayla's, and Sharon and Darick's families also came.

After Dinner we managed to talk Grandma Anne into playing a little X Box bowling. It was so funny because she ended up beating all of us. She is the champion! 

 Aunt Sharon gave my kids this lego type castle game and the kids love it. They pull it out and build their castle and then get their pet shops and play with it. I love when my kids play all together. 

(Don't mind the nudist, she is constantly changing clothes or running around in her panties, which by the way, she is finally potty trained....wahooooooooo!)

 Lexie got a set of My Little Ponies and so they were in the "Stables" of the castle too.

You'll see no pictures of me during this Christmas because I was really sick and had broken out in horrible cold sores all over my top lip and up into my nose and so I didn't want visible proof that I looked like a nasty leaper. So I was there....just behind the camera the whole time or I deleted them if I was. 

Anyways, we very much enjoyed our Christmas break with the kids and playing with all our new things.
