Christmas morning FINALLY arrived and the look on Brayden's face was my best Christmas present!  Normally, the kids open stockings first, but Brayden couldn't wait to see if Santa had read the directions he had left for him. Stocking time Brooklyn is our little artist, and she was thrilled with the BIG present Santa got her.  She uses it almost daily.  It folds up into a nice compact art set.  The stickers were promptly put to use decorating her dresser and doors- nice, right? A few weeks before Christmas, we were at Best Buy and they had the game, Just Dance, on the demo thing.  She had so much fun with it, that she got it for Christmas.  Little did we know that mom and dad would play it more than her.  Her favorite is the "Monster Mash" dance. Surprise, Surprise... Billy's gifts were nearly all sports related.  BSU stuff, mini hoop (he wanted to hang it up in our bedroom, but I had to put my foot down on that one.  Really?  He though...

Christmas Eve

I don't know how many times I've tried to upload these pictures, but every time blogger would get mad at me.  So, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, here are our Christmas Eve Pictures.  Brooklyn was my superstar wrapper.  She was actually really good, as long as she had lots of tape for all of the little pieces she used.  That evening, we went to Billy's parent's house for Christmas eve dinner and festivities.  Grandma read a Christmas story to the kids- with interactive stickers. Baby Chloe and her pretty momma enjoying the fun... Big Announcements were made... Brayden was shared his new BSU snuggie with Ellie... The kids reenacted the Christmas Story... We opened cousin presents... (my darling niece Ellie) Our pretty Christmas tree after Santa made his visit...   And thanks to Brayden's sign, Santa knew exactly where to put his special present.  "Santa, put DSi here"
