CHRISTMAS DAY

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HOUSE TO OURS!

Well I think Santa found us! I think the highlight of the morning was the Wii, James said there was no way We were ever going to get one. But I guess Santa fooled him:) LOL Maddi was screaming to the top of her lungs and Kobe said Santa ROCKS!

Those are some pretty cheesy grins:)

WOW! I look so thrilled:)

LOOK Santa even brought baby Diesel a new shirt! The kids were so happy they are always asking if we can get him clothes. But I'm to cheap, thank goodness for Santa:)

After We get all done with seeing what Santa has left, and opening gifts at our house We head up north. First stop @ 10 a.m. is Gm. Kent's for her famous Christmas breakfast, she has done this for years. I look forward to it every year, but it's not James' favorite. We are crammed in her little house like a bunch of sardines, it does get a little congested. But hey the more the merrier right? It's all you can eat and then some! Then after breakfast We exchange gifts and the BEST gift of all is Grandma's plate of her homemade candy YUM!

The kids and James were a little preoccupied by the Wii and it was snowing like CrAzY so we didn't quit make it in time for breakfast. Grandma loves her family more than anything! Every year she gives a little speech about how she knows that it's way over crowded, and that We could change the time and place of the get together so We could have more room. But as you can tell We have opted out, it just wouldn't be the same.

Then back to Gp. Rick's and Gm. Lynn's for more presents and food!

This year Gp. Rick had to work (he works for the county so he had to plow). We kept waiting and waiting for him, but he called and said to go ahead without him, the snow just wouldn't let up. Grandpa's favorite part is giving gifts, he always has some kind of surprise for us. This year it was a popcorn machine, popcorn is one of Grandpa's favorites. The kids thought it was GREAT! Mom, Becki, Jacki and Maddi put it together and then served up some HOT fresh popcorn:)

Finally, We are off to Gp. and Gm. Hales for MORE food and presents:) WOW! Maddi and Kobe love their gp. and gm. so much, they are always so eager to visit! They are one in a million, I don't know what We'd do without them!

NOW, We are home at last! The kids are having fun playing with all their new stuff. And our poor daddy is out shoveling our driveway. And as you can tell I've been posting our days events:)

hope all is well with you and your families!
