Merry Christmas One and All!

We had a wonderful Christmas! The kids were so excited all month long and could hardly wait for Christmas to come! I had to keep reminding them that WAITING for Christmas is part of the fun!

We enjoyed making (and eating) Christmas candy, making candy houses, reading Christmas stories, singing Christmas songs, going on Christmas drives to see the lights, enjoying Christmas parties, and just the whole spirit of the season!

This is Christmas Eve night right after Santa delivered all the goods! This is my favorite time...so exciting! We knew the kids were still half awake upstairs, so Kevin tried to jingle some jingle bells and do some HO HO HOs! it was fun!

The kids were SO EXCITED Christmas morning...can you tell???



Benjamin LOVED his soft Elmo...

Sadly, I didn't take too many pictures. I guess I got caught up with all the excitement and forgot to take more pictures. Tyler was excited to get a new iPod and Lego sets, Brooklyn was thrilled to get a bunch of new clothes (that's what she wanted most of all!), accessories, Pixos, and Webkins, Derek loved his new cars, Bendaroos, Webkins, art stuff and other toys. Benjamin loved his new Elmo, books, and plastic animals. It was a lot of fun!
