We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Some of these pictures are backward but I am not going to fix them... Mackenzie had a christmas program with the all of the first graders, she also had a christmas dance recital which I didn't get any pictures of because my battery was dead. Then, on Christmas eve, we spent the day painting in Mackenzie's room (I will post pics soon) , then we had some friends over for dinner. The kids painted ornaments, and we played some games. It was fun. Christmas day was so nice. We just stayed home and spent the day as a family. Most of us stayed in our pajamas all day and just enjoyed staying home for a day. The kids were pretty worried that Santa wouldn't find us at our new house but he did! They were very relieved! Here's some pictures of all of the excitement!!
Christmas eve with their new jammies and blankets.
Yay!! Santa found us!
7:30 in the morning and a face covered in chocolate! It doesn't get any better than that!
Gavin got a remote-controlled four wheler, an ipod, camo clothes, craft stuff, and a TON of farm toys : Truck and horse trailer, barns, sheds, fences, and farm animals. He was so fun. He kept saying "This is just what I always wanted" which Dallas and I thought was funny because that is exactly what Dallas would always say when he opened presents when he was a kid.
Mackenzie got just what she wanted: an ipod and an i-dog. Santa even found her a "stuffed" one because he knows how much she loves stuffed animals. She also got a scooter, make-up, craft stuff, some CDs, clothes, and of course, some stuffed animals. She got a whole bunch of beads and jewelry making stuff from grandma Anderson so she spent most of the day making bracelets and necklaces for all of her toys. when it was getting dark outside she said "this has been the best day! Too bad it's over huh??" She is so cute!
Dallas's gifts- He got spoiled this year. I was trying to surprise him this year by getting him a Wii. Mackenzie and I were the only ones who knew about it and we kept it a secret until Dallas guessed 2 days before christmas. So Dallas got the Wii, and a couple games, and I got a Wii fit and of course, some clothes. Gavin is loving the hunting game and Mackenzie has had a blast bowling and boxing. I can see that I am definately going to have to set some limits but I think it will be a fun thing to have.
Avery-playing with some new toys! she got a big picnic table with an umbrella, a shopping cart, clothes, a little keybord, and instrument set, and some other small toys. She is the funniest kid. She didn't care about the presents At All. She only cared about one thing- CANDY!! She has the biggest sweet tooth I have ever seen. She opened her stocking and the first thing she pulled out was a chocolate santa and before I knew it, she had opened it and was munching away. Any time anyone came near her to try and get her to open a present, she would get so mad because she thought we were going to take her candy away and for the rest of the day she was on a mission- to eat as much candy as she could find. She kept saying "nany" which is candy. I really try to not let her have too much sugar so I didn't give her much in her stocking and I told Mckenzie and Gavin to put theirs away so she couldn't get into it but every time I turned round, she had gotten into more candy. I don't know where she kept finding it but she just thought she was in heaven! I am surprised she is not sick because of all of the sugar she ate!
