Christmas Festivities

Christmas Eve we always go to James' parent's house for dinner and a little program. My kids always go in their new, freshly opened, pj's. This way they can go straight to bed when they get home that night.

(Don't ask me what James is doing to Madison because I don't know.)

Madi and Teagan in their new nightgowns. We found out that night that they are VERY see through, so the girls had to wear t-shirts underneath them. I have since sewn in liners.


Christmas morning came with big smiles. What Austin didn't get in quantity, he definitely made up for in quality. He got a 19" HD tv and a mini fridge for his room. (Thank heavens for Black Friday!) He also got a couple of new video games and other misc. things. He was happy.


Madison wanted to grow up this year, she asked for a sewing machine and an Easy Bake Oven. Santa didn't disappoint. She also got some Heeley's (tennis shoes with wheels in the heels) and a Leapster hand held video game system. It's like a Game Boy but the games actually teach things. She loves all of it!
She already made 2 mini purses. One for her and one for Teagan.

Teagan asked for a new baby. A pink one to be exact. And she got 3. 2 of them were pink. One came with a stroller, a high chair, and play pen. Each has an electronic sensor that detects where she is, and she says things according to where she is at the time. It is very cute! She also got a little learning laptop computer, books, and puzzles.



Zach got a really fun kick-n-go scooter. It has a petal on the back that you step on and it makes it go. He also got an iPod touch. Like and iPhone, but without the phone. He is constantly playing with it! He asked for a Pet Vet toy set so he can practice being a veterinarian (which is what he wants to be when he grows up) and ended up with the toy set, and a computer game. He's is getting lots of practice taking care of those animals.


James got me another Nintendo DS Game Boy, to replace the one he gave me last year (that a certain son of mine lost...). And with it a new cooking "game". It comes with recipe's from all over the world and step by step video's to help cook them. Maybe I will actually cook a real meal this year! (Hee! Hee! - OK, I cook now and again. But maybe something different for a change). He also went all romantic on me and got me real pearl earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. Now he will have to take me someplace fancy to show them off. :)

James got a bunch of tools, a neck massager, and lots of clothes. He needed clothes bad! It seams like we always make sure the kids have what they need, and put us last when it comes to getting clothes. But he is set now.

We also got a Wii Fit for our Nintendo Wii. It is a blast! It comes with lot's of excises that look like games, and records your workout times. SO MUCH FUN! And we got a snowboard game to go with so we can do other stuff too. All in all, a really fun activity.

We hope you all had a nice Christmas!
