Christmas

This year, for the first time, we had a visitor for Christmas! My dear father-in-law (whom I've adopted since my dad passed away) was here, and he added an extra bit of fun to the holiday. This was most welcome, because 2/3 of our kiddos know about Santa (that made me not so excited to do Christmas Eve). :)

On Christmas morning, the kiddos came into our room at about 7 (am yes). They neglected to wake up Grandpa, which was good since he went to bed late. It was also bad because they had to wait to open presents until he got up and around. So to kill time and/or distract them, I whipped out my camera and we started taking goofy pix. Here are a few of those:


Zack's sitting in Santa's lap as Hannah's proxy. She's scared of Santa LOL!


Hannah and Nate being their normal selves. ;)


Hannah can hardly contain her excitement!


Zack trying to be patient- not working too well. :P


The tree!


Grandpa's finally up and he gets a hug.


Here's the much-awaited present: My Little Pony with RC scooter. :)

(((HUGS))) and Happy New Year!

Merry ChexMix!

This is a saying my in-laws toss around during the holiday season, lol!
