Until next year...

Christmas is over and we really did have a good one. I love that the kids are getting older and actually get the meaning of Christmas. Christmas Eve we had my dad and brother over for some dinner and Guitar Hero!!! We exchanged gifts and then watched Luke II and then Alyson read it from her scriptures. Abby pretty much kicked my brother and dad out because she wanted to go to bed so Santa would come. We still didn't get to bed until about 1:30 (that's what I figured).

Christmas morning was fun. It was just us for awhile and Aaron had fun torturing the girls before they could come downstairs. We were getting the camera and video camera ready. I didn't get very many pictures this year because usually my mom is here to help but my mom, brother and stepdad got here right after the kids were done opening presents. Alivia took forever to open her presents because she opened every present like this:


Aaron is taking the scouts ice fishing in January so he love his new ice fishing pole. The Baby Alive is an added bonus! Alivia wanted every toy open as soon as she unwrapped it...

After opening presents with my family we went to the Egberts and I forgot to bring my camera! Not one single picture. We have spent the last two days doing nothing. The girls keep commenting on how nice it is to stay home and play. I have to agree!
