Ho Ho Ho

Christmas day has come and gone but what a fantastic day it turned out to be. And what a great month December has been. I love the time spent with family and friends and the magical feeling in the air. I love the Christmas tree lights and the excited kids. Everyone in our house was extremely spoiled.
Max got a Nintendo DS and the Battle of Endor Star Wars legos along with numerous other small gifts and the Super Mario Brothers Wii game. One of his most played with toys so far is the Nerf basketball hoop that hangs on the door.
Klein got a new doll stroller and her own version of a DS along with lots of little animals as well as her own Dora Wii game.
Preslee got some of her own toys- hopefully Klein won't take everything away from her and say "it's mine."
I was completely spoiled and got pretty much everything on my wish list- a Flip camera, a Powershot camera, a golf cart, ski boots and pants and a coat.
It has been a great holiday season and a wonderful year. As always, I plan to get everything done earlier next year to avoid last minute stress.
Jason got lots of golf stuff- new irons and a range finder and his own Tiger Woods Wii game. After Christmas we decided to use our money and buy ski helmets and Jason got new goggles. Max also got all new ski clothes and a new helmet.

Christmas Eve festivities at Grandma DeeAnne's
The Santa Beard game... cover your face in vasaline and dip into cotton balls. Max won the contest- this is just for show.
Klein loves her cousin Karlie

The lego building begins... Jason spent hours on Christmas day building the "Battle of Endor" for Max. Max did help but it was a pretty complicated task with thousands of legos to sort through.
One of the many intense Nerf basketball games that have already taken place...
Tired but happy parents

It looks like you guys had such a fun Christmas! I loved all the pictures from Christmas day. They're always my favorite! I got the same FisherPrice iXLs for Nicholas and Karlee and they have played with them nonstop! It's scary how they instantly know how to work those things. They're 3!!! Hopefully you had a wonderful holiday! Happy New Year!!!! 2011!!! Can you believe it? Do you remember all of our New Year's Eve toast when we were single?!?! If only we knew then what we know now!
