We ended up staying home from church and family's houses today. All five of us have some form of a mean virus that is obviously very contagious. Have no fear! Christmas was brought to us. Aunt Ashley stopped by and brought each of the kids a Webkinz. Devon got a cat that he is working hard on a name for. Makenna got a racoon that she named Santa. Jayden got a Rottweiler that he named Diego. They are thrilled with their new "adopted pets".
Makenna and Devon woke up at about 2 am when they heard Santa set down his mug of apple cider and walk around the living room. The could only contain themselves until 3 am when they burst into our room and announced that Santa had been here. We had to "remind" them that it was too early, not to wake Jayden, and to sleep in until 7. In a blink of a parent's eye later, our door burst open again, and all three were yelling, "it's time!" It took us a few minutes to realize that it was only 6 am, but there was no going back. So much fun and excitement was in the air. Makenna fell asleep (while trying not to miss a thing) a little after noon.Grammie, Larry, Uncle Zack, Aunt Julie, Braxton, Hailey and Elmer Elf kept the fun coming our way. There was Hannah Montana, Pokemon, flying helicopters, and warm blankets to be enjoyed. The gifts are all fun and new to the kids. Makenna was beyond shocked to see herself as a blond (she got a Hannah Montana wig in her set). The boys have eyed the remote control helicopters for some time, so happiness was not hard to find when they saw what was beneath the wrapping paper. Thank you for being a part of our wonderful Christmas!
Matt and I received some great gifts from Mom and Larry too. We both feel terrible because of this mean cold (and we look worse) so instead of posing with our gifts we put a picture of us with them. Just call it a little gift from us. You really don't want to look at us this way...LOL.
Once again....MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS and THANK YOU!!!
