Christmas was so good. Our kids kept telling us all day long, "this is the best Christmas ever." We went to my parent's on Christmas Eve for German food, gifts and to watch all of our Christmas videos that we all made (you can see ours a few posts down). We got a lot of fun things. Lindsay got a Cinderella doll that crawls from Granny and Grandpa. Zane got a race track and Gavin got a Spiderman Dry erase board for the car from Granny and Grandpa.
My parents gave a safe to put copies of all of our home videos and pictures in.
Christmas morning, before going downstairs to see the tree.
Gavin hugging his Indiana Jones.
Lindsay has been obsessed with playing Clue lately. Funny thing is, it always ends up scaring her. So we got her Clur Jr., the Case of the missing cake. No one dies in this game.
Santa also brought the kids their own scooter. He sent them on a Treasure Hunt around the house to find them .
Santa totally surprised us with a Wii, and I mean totally surprised. I knew nothings about it. Zane got the Lego Indiana Jones Wii game
After we were all done opening gifts, Gavin took his mints he got in his stocking and lay on the couch eating them. I was making breakfast and didn't know where he was. I came around the corner and there he was. I said, "what are doing?" He said, "just eating my mints."
Christmas Day we went to Dan's parent's for turkey dinner and presents. We got some nice things. His parents made a wood puzzle and puppets for the kids. They also gave them a ton of books with a cd of all of us reading the books that we had prerecorded. So when the kids are reading the stories they can listen to the cd's with their aunts, uncles and Grandma and Grandpa reading the story to them. It is really cute.
Dan and his brother's playing Gavin's fishing game.
Dan's parents gave a wheat grinder and wheat. I'm anxious to try it.
Ma Doney made this for us.

So much fun at Christmastime! I've put off posting about it because there is just too much I want to put on.
So...a Wii, huh? How exciting for you.....or Dan! That's quite hilarious.
I miss you Heather. I came to your house twice to drop off carmels so I could say hi, but I kept missing you.
Do you think you might come back to Jazzercise soon?
Cute pics! I'm glad you had such a great Christmas!
When are you do? I just found out I'm pregnant. We are pretty excited!!
I'm due mid September so I'm just getting started. It's still really early. You are funny....talking about your 30 year old body and handling this pregnancy. Thanks for the encouragement! I'll be 30 in 1 month and this is my first baby!
Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas time. Your kids look so cute and happy!! Let me know how you like the Wii. We've been thinking of getting one.
Aren't you the cutest family ever in those cute hats?! Sounds like you had a great Christmas, and got lots of great, creative gifts yourselves! I love Lindsay's 'Clue' story. I should get my kids that version too..
