Looking back to Christmas.

I can't believe we are already half way into January. Here are some of the fun things

we did this Christmas.

Mr. Peeps made his usual appearance the day after Thanksgiving. An interesting thing happened this year though. The kids were so awful a getting to bed so he did go away for a couple days. They searched and searched all over for him. Finally, 2 days later he showed up with pj's and a note that said he had to leave because he was way too tired from staying up so late waiting for them to go to bed every night. He had also spent some time while he was away convincing Santa to still visit our house. What a nice elf!

Christmas eve

Mr Peeps left blankets for the kids, and even Shy too. Thanks Mr. Peeps! They also opened up their traditional Christmas eve gift. It is always something fun our family can do together that night. We got a Wii game, Just Dance. It is such a riot to see the kids dance to it. Hannah is so cute!

Sarah tries out her new sewing machine

The kids put on a wonderful nativity play for us!!!

Hannah sang the cutest song she made up.

The kids are all so excited to come down

Shy loves her new bed and toy from Santa

Caden is so happy to get the last of Wimpy Kid books. He loves those books and is such a reader. He finished the whole book over the break.

He also got a DS which he was really excited about.

Sarah is excited about her DS

Hannah is so excited about the candy cane she found in her stocking. It doesn't take much to make that girl happy.

Grandma and Grandpa's

Sarah got a sewing machine from both Grandma's this year! She is so excited. They both know her so well!
