Christmas Eve
We had a great time with Kevin's family on Christmas Eve! We did miss Sue and Wendy's families.
The kids decorated gingerbread men. Some were very careful about placing the candy while others couldn't get enough icing and candy on their cookie.
(If you look closely you can see the gobs of candy on Katelyn's cookie and the pile of icing on her cousin's cookie. )We ate yummy food!

(Enjoying some yummy food.)We had a fun gift exchange with the cousins and the adults. I took some pictures but my camera was on a weird setting and they all came out blurry.
We acted out the Nativity. Most of those pictures were blurry also.

(the other 2 wise men)Before going to bed the kids opened new pjs from Grandma and Grandpa and wore them to bed.
Christmas Morning
This was such a fun year because both Luke and Katelyn were so excited. When Luke ran downstairs and saw the presents from Santa he said, "He really did come!! Mom, Dad, Santa really came." Later he had opened all his presents except one. I could tell he was looking around for another present. At the beginning of December he sat on Santa's lap at the primary activity and had asked him for a set of Bakugans. After opening most of his presents he still didn't have those Bakugans and he was concerned. Well, the last present he opened was the set of Bakugans from Santa and he was thrilled. I'm glad Santa remembered to get those. :)
Ashley was so happy with the balls she got from Luke and Katelyn. We could have just stopped with those, but she did get a couple other little toys.

It was a dress up Christmas for Katelyn. She got a Cinderella dress, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, a ring, shoes, and a tiara (sp?).
(Is that a smile?)Luke got the Bakugans, a Transformer, and a Leapster.
(This is how he spent most of Christmas Day.)I loved the rainy, cold weather on Christmas day,staying in my PJs all day, and the kids happily playing with their new toys. The kids were also spoiled with fun gifts from their grandparents. It was a wonderful Christmas with fun memories.

Okay what are Bakugans? Cute pictures. It's always fun when the kids are so excited for Christmas.
Bakugans are these balls that have a magnetic part to them. When the magnet touches the special cards they come with they pop open into some kind of creature. You can also roll them and they will pop open.
maybe i should get one of those things for Tyson. Looks like Luke was totally into it and I could use something that Tyson could focus on! looks like you guys had a great Christmas!
Such a cute kids, I love Katelyn's smile , I'm glad you have a good Christmas.
Lazy Christmases are the best! Glad to hear you got a bit of a break, too.
