A blur!

Christmas came and went in a blur. I did post pictures. Christmas Eve morning at my parents was absolutely chaotic. We are gonna need to weed out grandkids or something? :) Opening presents and then brunch was the best idea we've had yet.

Christmas Eve night at Jason's parents was full of opening boxes, adding batteries and figuring out toys - glad to have Pops and Uncle Daniel there to help with that and assemble gifts, too many gifts!

Christmas Eve was a long day, but it was all worth it when we had Christmas Day all to ourselves. The kids played with their new toys until Jason and I rolled out of bed. I love having Christmas morning in our PJs even if it means some "rough" pictures of bed head and fat pants (Jason's word for PJ pants).

And to top off our wonderful day, we got snow! Five Inches. I got out of my PJs briefly to go sledding with the kids and have a snowball fight, which may or may not have resulted in me totally wiping out on the ice chasing Daegan - that boy has no mercy, even for mommy, and he was gonna pay!

It was a great Christmas that contains many, many memories!!
The kids have been so distracted with all their new toys. It has been great. We've been playing a lot of Operation, we played Life once, the kids have been painting and coloring like crazy (Capps' big gift was a huge art set), lots of Legos around, Bionicles, puzzles, new books to look at and new movies to watch.

And today, as if we needed more stuff, we went to Target for the kids to spend their Christmas money. Two hours. That is how long it took to get there, get the groceries I needed and then let the kids peruse the toy aisle. I am proud to say everyone got something off the clearance rack. Don't you just love Target Clearance?!

The boys found Ben10 Lego/Bionicle people -always perfect when they get the same thing and they can play with together
Mollee got supplies to go with her new My Little Pony
And Mac got a Tow-Mater truck.

Unfortunately, I did not get a nap!
