Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. I love the excitement of Christmas with kids around. We had so much fun. We had the Meyers and Aaron's sister Gentry over for Christmas Eve.  We had dinner and then the nativity. Titus was only willing to put the sheep hat on.  But everyone else was all for acting it out.

 We had a mini piano recital and played some dictionary. It was a great way to spend Christmas Eve. 

Christmas morning the kids were all up at 7. Titus almost had a breakdown because he had to waid for a two minutes to come down the hall. The kids were so excited and we even managed to get them to all take turns opening presents.

Levi was a little late getting into the morning but he woke up excited to be there.

Everyone got lots of books this Christmas and everyone is enjoying them.

Grandma Snow gave everyone their own microphone and they all enjoy singing in them daily.

James got a new bike he is so excited he is just disappointed that it is so cold  and the sidewalks are so icy. But the few afternoons he has been able to take it out he's been catching onto the hand breaks pretty quickly

After traditional breakfast of cinnamon rolls, strudel, hot chocolate and cider, we went up to Aaron's dad's house. To make Christmas even better we got Snow! James got a new snow tube and Grandpa Jensen's was the perfect place to try it out. 

He has a great long driveway that was perfect for tubing. James was out there for well over an hour and was not ready to go back in. 

Titus wasn't too interested in tubing but he loved helping Grandpa clear the snow on the tractor

Levi was more of an inside the kid but he kept us all entertained. 

We drove home that evening and I was able to sit down and enjoy my new yoga pants, leggings, book and all the awesome Christmas left overs.
