We had a very low-key, but wonderful Christmas this year.
---------------------------------------------
To start it off, on Christmas Eve we had Terry's parents come down and join us at the Paramount to see the movie "Mastermind". Blake has been wanting to see it and it turned out really cute. I would recommend it. After the movie we had them come over for a small dinner of "Super Bowl" food. (Super Bowl food just means the kind of food you would have at a Super Bowl party: You know, like lil smokies, and little sandwiches, and chips and dip. Things like that. Anyway...) We also played some cards with them... something we always do when we get together with them. At the end of the night we let the kids open one present, which is always jammies.
----------------------------------------------
Then on Christmas morning the kids woke us up at 8, and we went downstairs to see what Santa brought. Here are the kids showing off a few of their presents...
Here the two big kids are playing Wii in their brand new Snuggies.(Yes my kids wanted Snuggies for Christmas!)
It was really funny... Ashlyn unwrapped her Snuggie first, and when Blake saw it he was really jealous. So as he was unwrapping his other presents,he was quietly saying to himself, "Please be a Snuggie, Please be a Snuggie!" Lets just say he was pretty excited when he finally opened his! (Yes, my kids are nerds! Don't be hattin!)
------------------------------------------
After opening presents and playing with them for a few hours, we slowly made our way over to Terry's parents' house for a yummy Christmas dinner. It was very relaxing and nice to not have to travel for the holiday!
-------------------------------------------
Here are a few of our favorite things we got for Christmas this year:
------------------------------------------
Damon: A ride on toy, a car ramp with little cars, and a baby swing to hook up to our swingset,
-----------------------------------------
Ashlyn: A dog purse, a Mp3 player, electric keyboard, Zhu Zhu pets with a habitat, and Wii games.
------------------------------------------
Blake: Electric drum set, Mp3 player, huge star war lego kit, remote control car, and Wii games.
-------------------------------------------
Aubrey: Kitchen stereo that connects to my Mp3 player, books, Just Dance 2 Wii game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Terry: Blu Ray player, flat screen t.v., wrench, Wii games.
(Terry took back one of his main gifts. The Blu Ray and t.v. were family gifts but I had to list it on Terry so you didn't feel too sorry for him!)
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Did you mean "Megamind" instead of "Mastermind"? We saw Megamind too and thought it was really good! Sadie even sat through it without a fuss! Miracle I tell ya!!! Anyways...glad ya'll had a good Christmas! Oh, and I got "Just Dance 2" too! I love it! I do the "Just Sweat" workout every day.
