Christmas is done

Well there are boxes and trash scattered all over with new toys strung across the floor. As I sit here tired I look back on all the great memories that were made this Christmas. This Christmas was great with lots of family, presents, food and more food.

We started Christmas on Christmas Eve with listening to our oldest sing O Holy Night at a Christmas Eve Service. It was beautiful as always. After the service we went to my gparents and opened gifts with my mom's side. It was full of fun especially when we tried taking a family picture and the timer didn't work as planned. As soon as my dad thought the pic wasn't going to take he walked to fix the timer and it took. It took a very long time to get and hopefully the pic came out.

Christmas morning we awoke to all the Santa had left the kiddos. Lil man was so excited to get the aircraft carrier that he "always wanted". Lil guy got some mega bloks which he enjoyed. Our oldest wanted money to save up for her keyboard and our youngest daughter got a Wii game Just Dance 2. We then opened the gifts from each other. Lil man was opening his big gift. As he opened it and saw what it was he said, "I didn't want this." Let's just say this mom's heart sank. He had seen it on a commercial and said he had wanted it. It was a workbench with a ton of tools. He is always wanting to help dad so we thought it would be perfect. Well this toy was hard to find and finally after being the winning bid on ebay I had it. Then he says he didn't want it. My hubby said, "if you only knew what your mom went through for that gift." Luckily lil guy thought it was great and as the day progressed lil man did enjoy playing with it.

Christmas day was full of family with a breakfast with my dad's side and then dinner with my hubby's side. It was a very enjoyable time I got a couple of the best presents ever. My hubby got me some earrings and then my kids got me a mom necklace that I love. It was a great day with all the family.

Another week, another holiday celebration. So, what are your new year's resolutions?? Hope you had a great Christmas!
