Christmas

The actual day of Christmas was really laid back too.  :)  I woke up and made breakfast for everyone on just a few hours of sleep.  I was impressed that I was as functional as I was!  My kids slept in late which was awesome because they had gone to bed late... so the Young's opened up their gifts and stockings beforehand which was just fine.  My parents aren't really big into the whole show of it, which I'm glad.  Its just hard to coordinate with all the kids and making sure people aren't getting too annoying because they are so excited for presents!






















We then just played with the presents for awhile and then we finished up the gingerbread houses!  We had glued them together the night before to let them rest but my kids were really excited to decorate! It actually went really well.  I was considered that we were just going to make a big mess and Mom was going to get mad, but everybody was patient and I think they did a great job.  Even Holly's toughest kid sat down and enjoyed.  :)























I laid down for a nap and G kept everything together and going.  Of course.  :)  He is the man.  I feel bad sometimes because I know that no matter who anyone else brings home they are never going to be better or even compare to how awesome he is.  Things continued to go well until Holly came back and picked her kids up and left.  Then, we were there just for a little bit longer to help clean up and then we headed home.  It was a good Christmas and it was really nice to be able to spend it with almost our entire family.  Miss you Jon, Megan and Daniel!
