Our holiday party was a lot of fun! So much fun that Peter decided that he needed to sleep right there..on the couch, all night long! Now that is a good party!
Holiday fun started and Gma Vans House! Do you think these kids were naughty or nice? They look pretty innocent here in this picture.
Cousins came from all around....watch out grandma!
Cousin pig pile!! there are 5 boys in that chair.
The sibling gift exchange was loads of fun, filled with steals and bartering. I think in the end everyone was happy with their gift.
The cousins were all routing for their respective parent.
Packer vs Steelers.....Patrick and I cheered out best....with little luck. We really needed a christmas miracle....almost had it, but lost at the last second. There is always next week against the Bears.
Back at home we stacked our new reading pillow, bean bag chairs and down blankets for our annual viewing of The Christmas Story.
We opened gifts that came from all around. Thanks L&L for our Zarts
And Thanks to the Texas Cullens for our shirts and sport bags! We are excited for the olympics!
Lutz and Christine's package came just in time!
and we gave the boys bows and arrows. (too bad it is too snow to shoot them. we will have to wait for spring)
Christmas Day came with more surprises from Santa
The largest Lego set Peter has ever had!
And a Nickel skateboard for Jamison! (just wait for the first trip to the ER)
Unfortunately Indy was on the naughty list for peeing on the tree. Santa knows everything!!
Now for the secret......Earlier this year Peter busted the tooth fairy. I was afraid that the boys would set a trap for the man in red. We found out later that the boys decided not to bust Santa because if they learned the truth they may never get presents again. Well, no trap was set. So we decided to ask the boys if they still believed in Santa and they said yes, but because they know we would never spend that kind of money. We came clean....and assured the boys the presents would still come every year...as long as they were good. The boys were relieved.
New snow.....mean snow fun!
and Legos and more Legos mean more indoor fun. It should be a good break!
