Christmas

WE had a fun morning..the kids were so excited to see what Santa had brought them. Madison loved her little princess kitchen and princess dolls.. She also recieved a cute outfit from G & G Swanson along with a little doll that she just adores.
Sam went from one thing to the next but the first thing he noticed was the small broom and mop...he went all over sweeping the floor ( a little easier to handle than my big broom...less injured siblings too!) Sam also got clothes form G & G Swanson that are just perfect!!!!

Jacob had a great morning. After sleeping on the couch trying to get a glimpse of Santa he awoke in his own bed.. Apparently Santa put him back in his bed. Jake got lots of great things. Clothes, toys, cars. He really wanted a Wii, but even Santa couldn't find one. So he has a coupon from Santa to get one whenever we find one at the store. (we've been calling daily to check on the shipments...it could be awhile.)
Carlos and I were treated good too. I finally got a camera that isn't broken and Carlos is getting a fishing trip on the Green River..
We couldn't ask for anything else. we are all well and happy and together. IT has been a good year.

AHHHHH...first snow

As cold is it was outside my kids were anxoius to get out in the snow...all thier snow gear is too small leaving a gap between the snowpants and the boots I guess it is time to get some more warm clothing. Madison was content just eating the snow...which is more that I can get her to eat without a bribe.
Jacob wanted to spend the whole day with his snowboard and the sled..,.. I can't understand how they didn't realize how cold it was...is that something that only adults are aware of... just the thought of going outside in a snowstorm makes me cold and I am ready to get the blanket, slippers and a nice cup of hot chocolate. Poor Sam doesn't have any warm snow gear so he was only able to watch from the window....don't you just feel for him.


The kids couldn't wait to go sledding...they got out the sleds and used the freshly shoveled sidewalk as a thier snow course.
