Merry Merry Christmas!

A few weeks later, I am finally posting about Christmas...of course, the kids were so excited for Santa this year and they must have been pretty good because he did come! And the three older kiddos were up at the crack of dawn, like most kids do...with giant, giddy, laughter! And try as they might, they could NOT get their little brother to wake up...he was nestled all cozy in his bed and very content...

So we let them just have at it: Jonah got his Drifter he wanted (Go Cart) Ashley got an I-Pod (Yes, she is only 5) Jacob got an airsoft gun. When Alex finally woke up, his favorite present was his mini-trampoline!

Dang, they were all so cute! I love these ages. I love their laughter and their energy. I love these kids so much.

Such a great year. We did many fun things over the Break: Airborne, movies, Jungle Jims, Skiing, shopping, etc.

We went up to Eden the last weekend before New Years. Jonah didn't have the best weekend: he was bit by a dog (literally ripped thru his coat and broke his skin), shot in the face accidently with an airsoft gun, and later, had strep throat....then, admittedly, I was ready for the kids and I think they were ready to get back to a routine and back to school.

Can't believe Christmas has come and gone: it's 2012~ Happy New Year! We are excited for our new adventures...Love!
