Merry Christmas!

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. Luke was happy that Santa brought him, and I quote, "So many wonderful surprises!"







In the afternoon we went over to the Dawson's to open more wonderful surprises and to have lunch. The kids were definitely on a sugar overload the entire day, but it was fun.
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

24th Day of Christmas

We spent the evening at my parent's house. My mom made a great dinner and had a fun activity planned.
My Mom and the kids had a puppet show of the Nativity story. Abigail and Blake struggled with their puppets a bit. Their puppets are on the right.Luke wanted to see the show too, he kept sticking his head out.
Luke and Ben building his Lincoln Log farm.

Abigail sporting her new apron and chef hat made by Grandma Bars.

Snuggling with Grandma and her new Dora doll. After I tucked her into bed tonight, 20 mins. later I could still hear her saying "Abby's Dora... Abby's Dora..".
I'm off to bed, and I'm excited for tomorrow! I didn't think Christmas could get any better than when I was little, but I think watching my kids and seeing how excited they get is so much better!















The 23rd Day of Christmas

We had a party at the Dawson's tonight. The boys drank all the orange soda they could ever want and watched movies.

Abigail pooped out early, she happily went to bed around 9:30. All of us grown ups got to play games all night without interruption.
This is what Luke looks like 4 1/2 hrs. past his bed time. I don't think he's ever stayed up 'till 11:30 before. After the sugar high wore off, he crashed pretty hard.

The 22nd Day of Christmas


We went to the Smith (Ben's Mom's family) party tonight. We had it at a roller skating rink. The kids had a great time. Abigail really was enjoying the ride, but I guess she's sick of me taking pictures.Grandma Sharla and Carly
This ride didn't work, but Luke thought the dinosaur was pretty awesome just to sit on.

The 21st Day of Christmas

We looked at some Christmas lights. Abby loved it and we had to wake Luke up to see them. I just took a random picture of a house to document on my blog. I hope I will remember next year that doing the days of Christmas was more work than I thought. I hope you all enjoyed Ben's video from last night. Now I know why he'd randomly sing 'do you want some apple pie with that'.
