Christmas Album

I finally put together a album for our Christmas pictures! I haven't shared one of those on here in awhile and was having a hard time picking which few pictures to post on here. This way I can share more of them, and in no way is this all of them! lol :o) I think the best way to view them is in Slideshow, but for some reason it doesn't automatically show the titles to the pictures so when you click the link, go to View Album.. then play slideshow.. as soon as it opens go to the top to "options" click it, then click "show titles" then it will show the descriptions to them! :o) Hope you all enjoy. http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=2AaNWbJm1aMXIw

Merry Christmas!!!!

We woke up this morning to a WHITE CHRISTMAS!!! So exciting!! Its been spitting snow lately but nothing winter like. :o) Very Pretty!

Kelsi woke us up at 8 am and the others followed shortly after. They all did a great job not touching their presents for over an hour. I wanted to get them dressed and ready for the day, also wait for Papa and Grandma to arrive. Last year we had a rushed Christmas morning as we had to be ready and done with presents to head to my Grandma's house a few hours away. We will be going there on Saturday.

I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Christmas spending time with loved ones and friends. :o)

Christmas Eve....

I took Kim & Michael's pictures in the afternoon after getting the Turkey in the oven. Later that evening I cooked a Christmas Eve dinner (mini thanksgiving) for my parents and us. Tried to get the kids in bed... CRAZINESS!!! Finally at around 11 they were all asleep.. So we started finishing the wrapping, etc. All 3 of the girls woke up and walked out half asleep. Did not have an easy time trying to get this all done. It was storming pretty good to, the wind was really loud so that didn't help keeping them asleep. At 3:30 am Christmas morning our Santa responsibilities were completed!

Some of the gifts

The Eve Of Christmas Eve...

We had our work Christmas lunch, the actual dinner party had been canceled from the week prior as 1 co~worker had to attend a funeral. We did a gift exchange and I received a $25 gift certificate for Scentsy Candles, which ended up matching the Sentsy Warmer & scents I received at our volunteer Xmas party! How cool!! These are great Candles if you have not heard of them yet.

That night we had a dinner at our house with my parents, sister, her boyfriend Michael and Scott & Nancy. Did a little gift exchange, Scott & Nancy always get the kids gifts on their birthdays and of course Christmas. We all had a nice time then after the kids were asleep I started my wrapping... 2.5 hrs later I still was not finished so headed to bed at 2 am. Luckily We were given Christmas Eve off at work so didn't have to get up for work the next morning.

Ben's Xmas Party

Last night we went to Ben's Xmas party, it was held at Genoa Lakes Golf Club. Had great food and fun.. A picture of us before we left, I hope the one they took there of us comes out better. :o)
