Merry Christmas...



Ok, so...it isn't actually Christmas today...but Merry Christmas anyways! We had a pretty quiet Christmas this year...My oldest daughter is in Winnipeg, with my grandson, and Kendal's brother came earlier, while his sister wasn't able to come at all...We still had fun though with our three kids who were at home.

We even were able to get all the presents wrapped up and under the tree......

We went to our Christmas service at the church first...and then came home to warm up (not kidding...I don't know what was wrong with me but I was super chilled....) and fulfill our family Christmas eve traditions...

Jeremy surprised me. Not only did he not go after the ones under the tree, but he actually tried really hard to open the ones I gave him...Not bad for an 11 month old. With help he did pretty good.

To fill those of you in who don't know...We open our gifts at Christmas Eve at midnight, like I did when I was at home. We actually put the kids to bed, and then wake them up when Santa comes...although this year we did a modified version....Bree wasn't feeling well so she went to bed...Brandy is a little too old for that, so she watched tv..and we actually kept Jeremy up...Once he went to sleep, I wasn't sure he would wake up again.

He did pretty good...he managed to open 5 presents before he was just too tired. I gave him his little bear, which was one of the presents...and he reached over...gave it a hug, smiled and went to sleep....It was the cutest thing I have ever seen....

Unfortunately, the picture quality isn't great...because there is a great big finger print on the lens and I didn't realize it until after.....



Jeremy fell asleep around one...the rest of us were up till 2am...

Brandy and Bree both got ipod nanos this year, but not much else...
they seem pretty happy with them though....

Kendal and I didn't do presents for each other this year...We decided instead that at some point in the near future...we would get a new computer instead....


I hope everyone else was able to have a good Christmas this year...I look forward to hearing about your good times....
