Christmas

Between Jeremy pulling out FedEx trucks that were stuck in the snow, we were able to squeeze in a few minutes to do our annual stockings. The kids did their own for the first time this year and I think they turned out fabulous!

You can see what a huge Cowboys fan Troy is...he can't even spell the team name right! We had a good laugh at that!

All of the kids slept in our room on Christmas Eve, another tradition in our house. We drag their mattresses down the hall and spend a while acting like fools and reading Christmas books before tucking them in for the night. Amanda's got some good pictures of all of that action. Santa Clause was very good to everyone this year. Aidan got the number one thing on her wish list (see the wheelchair???). Rudy got his Spiderman suit. Jacob got his colored skateboard and Bakugan toys. Unfortunately, the turtle OR snail that he wanted was not under the tree. He'll have to ask for that again next year. Actually he did tell us that he will only be asking Santa for one thing next year.......a wheelchair.

Yes, I know it's weird, but you never know when there could be a bear in our backyard. You've got to be prepared!!!

Jeremy wrote lovely (insert sarcasm here) little notes on many people's gifts this year. He was feeling creative when we were wrapping on Christmas Eve.

Mom and Joe took a turn down the sledding hill. Wish I could've gotten that on video!

Uncle Kim took a video of himself going down the hill on the sled. It came out really good! If he ever sends it to me I will post it on here.

Rudy's FAVORITE gift this year was his Spiderman costume. Thanks Haylie!

Grandma (cupcake) gave us tickets to see Wicked. Can't wait for March!!!!!

We are very thankful for another great Christmas. There's always a lot of running around, but getting to be with family and friends is so much fun and very special to us. Wish I had pictures of the fun games we played at Aunt Leanne's! If anyone has some, please send them to me so I can show everyone what fools we made of ourselves!!!
