We had a nice quiet Christmas at home this year just the way we like it. We had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner of ham and cheesy potatoes. The kids and I made sugar cookies for Santa. The kids opened their Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve and then it was off to bed. No one went to sleep until after 10pm. Emma and Jake woke up a little after 7am and were ready to go see what Santa brought so we headed downstairs. Matt tried to wake up Brandon at 8am with no luck. I tried later at 8:30 and he was so excited to see if Santa brought him a Diego toy. Which ends up being his favorite gift. I think he was most excited about the candy in his stocking. Emma says her favorite gift was her new books and a foot massager Jake gave her from the dollar store. Jake says his favorite gift was a word find Emma gave him from the dollar store. Maybe I will just shop there next year exclusively. They also liked the Smartglobe Santa brought them as well. We didn't leave the house for 2 days. We stayed in and enjoyed playing new games, watching movies, relaxing and eating leftovers. Surprisingly we have more pictures of decorating the tree and Christmas Eve than we do of Christmas day. We had a nice holiday and really enjoy the Christmas season this year. Unfortunately it seems to go to quick every year.

The dollar store seems like it was a hit this year! So easily entertained!
Your house looks beautiful! I need to come over!
I can totally relate. The things Hailey seemed to love the best I got in the dollar bins at Target. What is with kids? I love what you did with your blog too. It looks great.
We were excited to see your Christmas letter and blog. I'll email you an invite to ours. It would be a fun way to keep in touch. Didn't even know you moved! Happy New Year!
HEY! It's great to see what's going on in your world. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! love Jenn
