Christmas Eve
Natalie with her princess stuff - she loves it!!!
New puzzle for Dylan.
Yeah for us - Braxton got a Nerf gun from his cousin. He loves them, which is a little scary for the rest of us.
The kids starting their Christmas Eve craft.The month of December has been absolutely crazy for us. We were only home 4 nights out of the entire month up until Christmas - seriously. I don't know what happened this year but we had lots of fun shopping for the kids. Normally we keep it pretty low keyed and don't get crazy. Nati was so excited for "ho ho" to come. I think that added to our excitement - having them all so excited. We spend Christmas Eve with Jason's family. It was a fun night of food, games, gifts and visiting. The next morning we got the kids up and didn't even make it up the stairs when Braxton said that he was going to throw up. And he did....before we even sat down, he was running for the bathroom. So Dylan and Nati started opening gifts while my little buddy was taking care of business. It was so sad. Dylan had been asking for a Nintendo DS for a while and we just kept putting it off. Those things are pricey. But good mother that I am, I got up at 2 am the day after Thanksgiving to get a good deal on one for him. It was great - he opened all of the presents and was trying to appear happy. Then I told him to check his stocking. He was so excited to get it. Braxton made it in time to open his Leapster 2, and Nati got a Leapfrog game thing also. So they all have their hand held games. We didn't want to spread whatever bug Brax had so Jason took the other two to his parents for breakfast and then I took them to the other grandparents for lunch. All in all, excluding the sickness, it was a great Christmas. We spent the whole afternoon just lounging and enjoying our time together. I love Christmas and we hope that you all had a wonderful day.
And, Natalie was up all last night with the fun "Braxton Christmas morning bug". Good times!!

It was great to get your Christmas card and get somewhat caught up on your family. It sounds like you have had a very busy year.
We are sorry to hear about your mom having to battle cancer. That is something that we know all to well. Our youngest daughter has been battling cancer as well. We have so much admiration for families that have to go through this. We kept a blogspot for our daughter: www.unfamiliarpath.blogspot.com
It has been too long since we have seen you guys. We'll have to get together sometime.
Looks like you had a great Christmas!!

Don't you love it when you get them exactly what they want?! And on sale! Nerf dart guns are Jace's favorite...we turn on the ceiling fan and the boys lay on the ground and shoot at it...surprisingly, lots of darts end up stuck to the blades! Sorry you have the bug around your house...never fun, especially during the holidays. Looks like your kids had a very fun December!
Hope everyone survived the nerf gun:) Hope Brax is feeling better, what a fun Christmas for him.
How fun, it sounds like your Holiday Season has been crazy too! Nat looks like she loves her Princess stuff and I love that you do a Christmas Eve craft:)
Worse thing ever to be sick on Christmas! Major bummer. I missed seeing you - but thank you for sharing the news about your yucky bug (instead of the bug itself!) Can't wait to see you next time I come...February I think!
