Very Late Christmas Post

Like everyone else, we have been super busy. Adam had a lot of time off over Christmas so we played a lot and I spent very little time on the computer. I also have to admit that I usually blog at night when the kids go to bed, but since we got the new Mario Brothers game for the wii, that is all we have done EVERY night I don't work. 4 people can play at the same time, so me, Adam, and Jamie have been glued to it. That game is super fun! Anyhow... I will try to sum up Christmas so this isn't so long, but just a warning, we have tons of pictures....

So like every year in our house, we spent a couple days baking yummy treats and then took them around to everyone. That is always fun, just to get to see everyone (and to eat a few treats ourselves.)


While we were at Craig and Brigitte's, Santa and Mrs. Clause came by to see the kids...and this was Mady as then walked through the door...pretty much her entire attitude about Santa this year...

Mrs. Clause finally warmed her up a little to a candy bar, but as soon as she got it she was done!


Noah wouldn't even get out of Adams arms. When Santa tried talking to him, he would scream NO! and he would be like shaking from fear! They tried to hand him a candy bar and he just pushed it back at them and screamed, "I don't want it!!!", so that was the end of that.

Christmas Eve day we made cookies for Santa and let all the kids open 1 gift! Yea! New jammies!!!


We alway spend Christmas Eve at Dad and Terri's. This year Jeff made yummy chilli, and of course shrimp!!! Mmmmm...! then we exchanged gifts and played games.


Then we took some tired kids home and Mady left cookies for Santa, (Noah didn't make it, he fell asleep in the car.)

Christmas Morning was tons of fun this year. Both kids were super excited and Mady got the concept of Santa. That morning she told me that she liked santa because he brings her lots of presents. so maybe next year she will do better.

Noah LOVES is 4-wheeler, or "my truck" as he calls it.



After opening presents, Adams Mom and Rick, and his sisters and everyone came over for breakfast and opened gifts. The food was good, especially the 72 servings of hash browns we made. :) (that was an accident.)

We all took a nap and then went to my mom and Johns. Ate...AGAIN! and opened more presents! It was a fun and LONG day. When we got home that night, Mady, Noah, and Kru were all asleep in the car! they were pooped out, but we had an awesome Christmas!
