Christmas

I have so much to document for Christmas.  I was really going to stay on top of my blogging this month but SOME promises were made to be broken. OOPS.  This month started out so busy.  I think the first week we had something every night on top of battling the stomach bug. YUCK! 

With hopes that the tree would be up the first week there just wasn't time so we finally got it up and decorated the second week.  The kids were really hoping for a REAL tree with our traditional decor but that wasn't looking likely.  So I pulled out the wonderful pre lit tree, my favorite, and my Twelve Timbers ornaments.  After a few moans from the kids they eventually warmed up to the idea.

With Christmas sneaking up on us, it was now time to see Santa.  Cam offered to come home at lunch and watch Shane so I could take the three older kids but I could not let his first Christmas go by without a pic with Santa.  So we braved the storm and wrapped Shane up and took him out of the blanket long enough to snap a picture.

Christmas came, ready or not, and we got a lot of fun things.  I recall the kids saying several times. "This is the best Christmas so far"  Words I love to hear.

I love December! Looks like you had a great month. Are you loving the bumbo seat? We haven't got one yet. I can't decide.
We got a Wii for Christmas too, and our picture of excitement is similar to yours. The kids have loved it, and Aaron and I have had fun with it too. So sore today!
I think the correction in the newspaper worked out pretty good. Most people have said the same thing as you....they saw the correction before the even saw the picture, so it all worked out ok.
Glad you had a great holiday!
