Since we're nearing Valentine's Day I decided that I absolutely had to get my Christmas blogging done....I think this should've been my New Year's resolution. :)
Christmas this year was so nice for us. We spent the morning with the Fa's (and as usual we came home with a car load of gifts & goodies). Then after lunch we headed over to my parent's house for even more eating & gifts for the kids. It was especially nice to have my dad home this year. We had so much fun with our families ~ it was so good to be reminded of what this time of year is really about & what really matters in life.
Soakai opening his presents....he loved his new pj's. :)
All Soakai wanted was a Buzz & Woody doll....glad we finally found one.
All Maizi wanted this year was a Barbie....Rapunzel was close enough.
Kids seeing their gifts under the tree for the first time - it was so fun this year since they're both old enough to have such great reactions. I have to say that our kids seem to be easily pleased. Good for us!
We got a really big, pretty tree this year and the kids insisted on helping me. So, I finally gave up the idea of having it decorated perfectly & let me have at it. You can't really tell from these pictures but the finished product was basically all of the ornaments at the bottom of the tree in one section. I guess the lesson to be learned for me was patience & spending time with my kids.
