Merry Christmas

We had another wonderful, memorable Christmas this year! The kids have been off from school since the 21st and we've been trying to do a number of fun things while they are on vacation. We took the kids to see Chipwrecked, which was pretty funny. The kids love going to the movies and enjoy getting their little kid snack box.

Christmas was a blast! On Christmas Eve we all went to church as a family, came home and Pops, Gigi and Uncle Scotty came over and spent the night. One of our traditions is to open one gift. It gets us ready for the big day, but it certainly is quite a tease... LOL.... Why stop at one present right?! The kids definitely wanted to open more gifts, but they knew they had to wait.

Christmas morning went by so quickly. The kids woke us up around 7:00 and we all came downstairs to start opening their loot. The first thing they do is only play with the gifts Santa left (not wrapped) so they can enjoy those toys first. They were SO excited to get the iPod Touch!! It totally made their Christmas.....

Pops & Gigi were extremely generous with the kids and the toys were all great!! We are truly grateful for all the love and support they provide all of us. The kids have been enjoying each of their gifts from everyone. They are also becoming pros with the iTouch.

This week, Stacey and I are painting each of the kids' rooms. I will post pictures of the finished product.

Great Grandma Utz arrives tomorrow for a week, so we will make sure to spend some time with her during her visit.
