Christmas Preview

Santa always stops at our house over the holidays. He asked the kids if they were good and if they do their chorus. If so then he asks them what they would like. Bridger asked for anything he wanted to bring. I love that about Bridge he was happy for anything.
Kate asked for a stroller and a baby. She has been asking for months. That's one thing about her she sets her mind and never changes.
Kolby asked for Legos and a remote control car. Maddie was tending. But she asked for an ipod for the second year in a row maybe she will get one this year.
I love to take pictures of the fresh snow. It's just not Christmas with out the white stuff
We always have to make our Ginger Bread house. But after last year holding it forever to dry, we broke out the hot glue gun. Best idea ever!
There is no need to say anything we our fabulous
We went up to grandma and grandpa Jones' house for Christmas Eve. It was really fun we had yummy turkey sandwiches and all the extras. Grandpa shared a story with us. My kids sang a song for everyone it was really cute they sang the chipmunk Christmas song (Me I want a HULA hoop). Grandma gave all the kids cute matching hats and scarfs. Then we came home and read the stories from grandma and grandpa Cluff. They did the twelve days of Christmas for us with amazing stories that went with them. My kids loved this time at night.
This years Christmas Eve P.J'sChristmas morning. The first present we opened was from grandma and grandpa Cluff's last day of Christmas. It is so wonderful we loved the stories to remind us truly what day it is.
Nick asked for a book and that's pretty much it he also got a sleeping bag so he doesn't freeze with the scouts at thier winter campouts.
I asked for a sweat outfit well because nothing else fits at the moment. Wish it was because I'm so skinny.
Maddie finally got an IPOD and some fingernail polish. She was so happy!
Bridger got this air hockey table and was so excited. It pays off not to ask for anything.
Kolby got his Legos and his remote control truck.
Kate got her baby and the cutest pram stroller.

It was a wonderful Christmas. We tried to scale back this year and just get them one thing they really wanted. I was surprised how they didn't even mind that there was less. I love this day it was so nice to spend time together. We went up to my Grandpa's for breakfast, it was great. I didn't have to cook always a good thing. Then we went to my mom's for her gifts. She always does to much. She really puts a lot of thought in all the gifts. Thanks a lot mom and dad. Then we came home and spent the day with kids and their toys it was nice and relaxing. I hope everyone had a nice holiday season.
