Christmas Day

I guess Santa did good this year. Brock told us that this was the best Christmas ever! I think that also helps when you don't peak at your presents. I have had to change my hiding spots and I think it has worked FINALLY!!  As usual we went over our budget and really splurged this year, it is SO DANG HARD TO discipline when sales are jumping out at ya.

Drake is my most content humble kid. Doesn't ask for much and what he wants is reasonable, although he has been begging for a lab puppy so in return I got him a lab puppy calendar as his puppy. I thought this would be better than the actual pet, no hair, no mess to clean, no feeding, and smells good!

Brock wearing his new Fitzgerald jersey, and Drake snuggling with the new blanket I made him. Below Drake, is the present that shocked them all a PS3?!?!

Madie proud of her new bike. Fits perfect on her too!

This was the display for them to see on Christmas Day after we laid everything out

This is what they would see when they walked into the room (Madie's bike is hidden)

The view from the entry coming outside.

One thing that is so nice about Christmas is how peaceful everything is after presents are opened. The kids entertained themselves and we all were in our own little world trying on a game, project, or watch a movie here and there as a family.

The last two weeks from when my semester ended and when the kids semester would end I was able to volunteer in Madie's class. I helped make ornaments and watch Madie create her gingerbread house. It was so fun to be in her class, mingle with parents, and her teacher. She has an amazing teacher!

Madie is on the front right side. Very much into her icing the house together!

Also showing her front tooth missing. Lost it when she bumped her face lightly on my marshmellow stomache. Jay and I cracked up when she said, "It tastes ike bood".
