Merry Christmas

We hope that you and your families had a wonderful Christmas day. Our family had a great day. The boys woke up around 7 am and wanted to open presents right then. They were both so excited. Sid had been asking for days if it was Christmas Eve yet. This was our first Christmas without family around. We usually had Great grandpa and grandma at our house Christmas morning watching the boys open their presents. It was strange not having them around this year. We did well with the transition and spoke to everyone on the phone instead. The boys loved the gifts they received from santa, us, each other and family that sent some up.

Robbie received a wii game "star wars clone wars light saber duel" a ds game "star wars clone wars jedi alliance" an indian jones hat, the light saber sticks that attaches to the wii remotes and the cheat book from santa. He received some ds games from great grandma and grandpa a nerf gun from gaga and jack, drawing book and pj bottoms from pop and nan, a board game from us, legos and star wars transformer from Sid. He has loved them all.

Sid received a kitchen, play food, a nail gun, and drill from santa. He received some ds games from great grandma and grandpa, a nerf gun from gaga and jack, a board game and pj bottoms from pop and nan, handy manny from us and star wars guys from Robbie. He has not stopped playing with the kitchen since we got it set up. He excited to use his nail gun when daddy uses his nail gun.

Kennen received a new drill, a framing nailer, a new muppet movie and some new long sleeve shirts for work. (It is a little colder here than we are used to)

As for myself I received some new wool socks and sock liners, I got some new pants with lining in them and some new sorel snow boots. Yea! I am going to be warm.

Santa brought some family gifts as well. He brought some movies and another ds system. I think he knew that we were over the fighting of the one we had. Thank you santa.

The boys stayed in their jammies all day, ate a big breakfast of french toast, eggs and bacon. Robbie says we have to keep with the one tradition from Utah. Having bacon on Christmas morning. It was such a nice relaxing day. Other than we decided that toys need to come preassembled.

We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas. Thank you all for your love and support in the last year. It has meant a lot to us ecspecially since we have moved. Love you all.

Hi guys! I'm finally sitting down to check out your blog...you both know we're slow at responding. Anyway, beautiful things you wrote about for the 12 days! It looks like Christmas day was fun too. Today I started a blog for us but it isn't cute or anything yet so I've got to figure all of that out. Take care.
