OuR CraZy ChRisTmaS!!

Christmas is always so insane but soo much fun. I absolutely love Christmas and everything about it. It is so awesome to be able to get the kids the things that they REALLY want and see their faces when they open them. It is the best.

Marcus' mom and dad (Nana and Papa Dave) came to good ol' Rock Springs for Christmas this year. Missy, Marcus' sister, had been staying with us and it worked out that they were able to pick her up over Christmas. Due to the storm, they didn't get in until 9:00 on Christmas Eve, but we were just glad that they were able to make it safely!

On Christmas Eve every year we do Christmas at my mom and dad's. It is fun. We make schnitzel...yum....and open our gifts. The kids were soo excited, they wanted to go over as soon as they woke up, but had to wait til 6:30!! GASP! They thought that was rather cruel. Little stinks. We also get jammies each year for Christmas. This way you look cute for Christmas morning pictures...sure. Well, the last four years they have turned to themes. It is fun. One year was Spongebob...then we had to make it even more difficult by having the theme around some family event. The next year was Mickey Mouse, mom and dad had gone to Disneyworld.. Then we had the Camo...these were tricky. Jed had gone to boot camp, and we couldn't find them so we made them!! Insane, but they are cute. This year was hearts because of the two weddings (Jeff and Jed). We planned way ahead and got most on sale after Valentines Day. Brady was hard, how do you get a little boy PINK hearts? So he was the flames, Hunka Hunka BURNING love... We were all styling..

Both Brady and Marissa had to sleep on our bedroom floor. Marissa is terrified of Santa. Brady isn't this year but the thought of coming into our house while we were sleeping was too much. What do you do? They were out pretty quickly, so that was nice.

Christmas Morning... The kids were spoiled rotten. It is crazy how much stuff they get, I didn't realize it was soo much, but a little here a little there REALLY adds up. They all got the main gift they asked for: Kenna a motor scooter, Marissa her baby dolls, and Brady a telescope. Only that little stinker says he wanted it so he can go around and spy on people!! Hello? Can we say peeping tom??? He just thinks that is the greatest idea. Such a nut. I, I mean the kids also got Guitar Hero III. It is soo addicting!! I love it. I think my hands are permanently cramped. I can't wait till we bring it down and put it on the big screen. That will be really fun.

So Christmas was great. We are slowly getting things back to normal... It is going to take at least a week. Especially with Guitar Hero breaks. : ) We hope that you all had a FABULOUS Christmas! We did.
