Christmas 2010

Christmas was great this year. Honestly, with everything else going on throughout the month, it all kind of blurred together.  We tried to make sure the kids knew the reason we celebrate Christmas, and I think they got it a little bit.  But in the end, it was all about the toys.  When is it not?

We had a quiet morning unwrapping gifts and then had friends over for dinner.  It was a good day.  Unfortunately, my usual mad camera skills were nowhere to be found that day and we ended up with a lot of these: DSC_0066-1DSC_0069-1DSC_0075-1Ben was confined to the high chair for most of the unwrapping.  As long as he had something to unwrap he was fine with it.  DSC_0061Samantha and Carter visited Santa at Winter fest at their school.  Santa promised that if they would leave cookies and milk that he would indeed get them the princess toys and Bakugan video game that they asked for.  Thanks Santa.  What ever happened to “we’ll see what I can do” or a good non-committal “I’ll keep that in mind”? Someone needs Santa lessons.  Luckily, Santa was able to pull through and deliver the goods (thanks Kohl’s.com!).  DSC_0049DSC_0047All in all, I would say that Christmas 2010 was a success (other than the lack of pictures), and I think they would agree:DSC_0099-1
