We had a fabulous Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve here at home, just the four of us. It was really nice. We had a delicious steak dinner, watched Elf & got ready for Santa's arrival. We read our usual Christmas stories & left milk & cookies out for the big guy.
The kids woke up shortly before 7:00 ready to see what they got. The had stockings filled to the brim & lots of other things left under the tree by Santa. Jake got his IPOD & his video games that he asked for. Allie got her easel & blendy pens that she wanted. Both got lots of other things from Santa as well.
After looking over Santa's gifts, we opened gifts from each other. I got my pink IPOD from the kids & Scott. I love it. The kids also made some really neat ornaments at school for me. The kids got lots of new clothes & a few other things from us. They also exchanged gift between each other & loved what the other one picked out.
Once gifts were over, we had a brunch & waited for my sister, her kids & my parents to arrive. We had munchies/snacks with them & played lots of board games & some video games too. It was a great day!
The day after Christmas, the girls went bargain shopping while Papa stayed home with the kids. Once we were done shopping, the kids & I hopped into Mandy's car & rode back to my parent's house to spend some time with them until our family Christmas on Sunday. I'll post about the weekend later.

Here's the stash that Santa left. He tends to go a bit overboard!
