Christmas 2010
There is nothing like Christmas with children. It’s just magical! I am always up before my children making as much noise as I can to wake them up. I love seeing their eyes get wide and excited to see that Santa has come. It’s a feeling like no other to see my kids open a present they have “asked Santa” for all year long. I just love Christmas with children.
After the morning excitement, we went to the Vandenberg’s for breakfast. They always make so much yummy food when we come over. We had scones, eggs, biscuts and gravy, etc. Pam & Rich had just bought a new tv and go this little remote control car with their purchase; the kids each had a turn going for a ride. Except Izzy; she wanted nothing to do with the thing.
Then it was off the Kari and Michael’s house to see my Mom and enjoy a ham dinner. It’s so much fun to get my siblings together and our children. We laugh and laugh. I usually leave our family functions with a headache from laughing so hard. Today was no exception. We decided to do the 12 days of Christmas to my Mom this year as she is enduring some hard times right now. She absolutely loved it! Then as she gave each of us a present she told us each of a special memory she has of us. Yeah, it was a pretty emotional thing. I love my mom!
Perfect ending to a great day!

Christmas Eve Party
This was one of the best Christmas Eve parties we have had. It was soooooo fun. Decorations were beautiful! Food was amazing! Games and Talents were unbelieveable!
Grandma Great bought all the grandkids and great grandkids pajamas and a little toy. Ellie looked like a little snow princess. Izzy was rockin’ her green warm ups. And Ethan was too busy with his cousins to hold still for a decent picture. My mom managed to get a family picture of us though:
This year Corey and I orchestrated our version of “A Minute to Win it.” Good times! We laughed so hard and had a lot of fun trying to involve every age group.
