Merry Christmas!!

We had a Fabulous Christmas! I just hate that is flies by so quickly. Months of shopping, all the anticipation and excitement, and it’s all over in the blink of an eye. On Christmas Eve we always get new jammies. This year we got slippers too!

Gavin got Camo jammies with a dinosaur on the front and moose slippers. Me and the girls all got pink jammies with monkeys on them and the girls got monkey slippers. Dallas did not want any more jammies because he never wears them so he got a movie instead.christmas2011 036 copy

It looks like Santa found us!

We also woke up to one last surprise from our friend Mr. Elfman. He was gone- he went back to the North Pole with Santa but he got into the sugar bowl and left a “snow angel” on the kitchen table.

Avery got chapstick-of course, her drinking baby, a new comforter for her bed, a plasma car, a v-tech computer, play dough, and a bunch of other little things.. Unfortunately, Santa couldn’t find a candy spider.. Luckily she forgot about it once she saw her chapstick!

She would have been happy with just the chapstick. She ended up with 31 total.

Here’s Gavin with most of his things. He had taken some into his room so they didn’t make it into the picture. He got an mp3 player, a gift card for music downloads, a banana chair (he is sitting in it so you can’t really see it), a pogo stick, a sled, the skylander wii game and lots of characters to add to the game from Grandma Sill, 2 webkinz, a nerf gun, a little guitar, and bunch of other little things. He was pretty happy except for when he opened the pogo stick. It was in a long white box and was heavy so he instantly thought it was a gun.. Out came a pogo stick and he didn’t even know what it was or what to do with it so he was a little disappointed. He got over it pretty quick though!

Mackenzie got a new comforter for her bed, a sock monkey, a Barnes and Noble nook, and a rock board scooter. It’s a pretty neat little thing. I didn’t get any good pictures of it so I will have to remember to take one later. Plus she got also got 2 webkinz, art stuff, and a bunch of other little things.

I even got spoiled this year! I got a Kindle Fire and some cooking stuff. I got the new pans from Dallas’s company Christmas party. They had an auction fundraiser and I got the pans there. I LOVE my kindle. I have already almost finished a book!

For once, I was even able to surprise Dallas. He had bought himself a new backpack for hunting and I told him that was his Christmas. Every time I have bought Dallas something, he has snooped and found it. He didn’t snoop this year and he was pretty surprised when he opened up his new Vizio VTAB. He has been pretty happy with it. These little electronics sure are entertaining!

The day after Christmas, we took the kids sledding. It was pretty fun. The kids keep begging to go back!

They had several wipe-outs but I didn’t get any pictures of them. Gavin went flying into the air at one point- It was hilarious!

Avery loved it till Dallas took her down the big hill and she got covered in snow. She wanted to go home after that.

If you want a good workout, go sledding and pull a 3 year old up the slippery hill a couple times!
