What were we thinking!

We had a great Christmas this year. We had lots of family parties and lots of fun. I was afraid we were so busy that maybe we didn't include Christ enough in our Christmas festivities. When I said this to Kimmy she asked what I was talking about. She reminded me that we did way more service this year than we had ever done before and that we had spent a ton of time with family. What better way to include Christ in our Christmas. I had to agree with her.


I'm not sure what we were thinking, other than he really wanted them. Our only saving grace is that he really is good at the drums, so it's not just random pounding. They are a lot louder than I thought they would be.

The boys thought the big trucks were great. They could deliver packages and scoop up garbage.
Mama Mia was a big hit with Kimmy.
Maegan and Cami both got running shoes with Nike Plus so we are all ready for a challenge. Hillary I hear you got one too so you will be getting a challenge from me. Cami is training for a marathon so she will probably out run us all.





Josh was a little surprised I found a Fragle Rock DVD, but I think pleasantly so.
Chase picked out all of his presents this year, so no big surprises. I think he was still very happy, other than no video game.Dan got an ultra light sleeping bag. He's all about his camping, much to Maegans dismay.
Maegan and Dan gave Ron the sham wow. I can not even tell you how excited he and Toph were. They have wanted them forever.


The kids gave me a Willow Tree nativity set. I loved it!


I thought I would add just a few family party photos.

You'll have to explain to me what exactly Ron got, because I have no idea what that is.
