Christmas!!!

Well, we lived through it! Ha! It was a fun Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We made a snowman on Christmas Eve since it had just snowed. I bundled up the kiddies and out we went - Hunter refuses to wear a real coat (I think he gets that from my brother Scott), and I was rolling the snowman balls with garden gloves on (I am a retard - obviously from AZ) - Tye wouldn't keep his gloves on, so his hands were red and freezing cold! But, nonetheless, we had fun making him. He's still out on the front lawn.

Christmas day was fun. We made it to bed around 10:00. Hunter was up at 11:30 with a bad dream and so I went and laid with him for a few. Then at 1:15 he was next to Travis' side of the bed going "Dad, Look What Santa brought!" Travis was delirious. I marched him back to his bed and told him not to get up until there was a "7" as the first number on the clock. Lo and behold at 2:30 I look in the hall and all of the lights are on. I went into the family room, and there's Hunter on the bean bag with his Stocking watching cartoons. I was so mad....I marched him again back to his room and told him he would get it if he got up again. This time we made it until 7:30. So, Travis and I were so tired on Christmas morning, but it was still fun.

Hunter loved his pocket knife (courtesy of his dad) and lost it later in the day at Grandma's. We are going to keep looking - but there's not much hope of finding it out in the rocks in the empty field. He was devastated.

Gwendalin got a bike and rode it through the house a few times. She loves it! She also got a little digital camera that she loves!

Tye got a little ride on bike that he wouldn't let us get put together - he just sat on the frame while we opened presents. The minute he wasn't on it or watching it - my dad nabbed it and got it put together.

Some other family favorites were the games Elefun, Wack-A-Mole, and the Fort that Santa brought to everyone. It was lots of fun to be together and see the kids have such a great time!
