Christmas 2013

We were spoiled this Christmas season.  Many sweet people anonymously, and non-anonymously left us very generous gifts.  Thank you everyone who was so kind to our household this year.

My kids got to see Santa 3 times this year, they were so cute sitting on his lap.  Drake kept going back hoping he would get more gifts to unwrap.  He even sat and talked to Santa for a few minutes just jabbering away.  He has come a long way since last year when he cried the whole time.

We went to a lot of Christmas parties and I really enjoyed myself, even with finals so close to the holidays.  

I made some gifts this year, but not as many as last.  These little tiles are what I gave my visiting teachers and those I visit teach.  

I also made some Christmas bulbs for the YW

I printed this picture I photoshopped, modge podged it to a canvas and gave that to Jay and Jenny, Kade's brothers family.  I didn't take an after picture, silly me.

Ean asked me to make him a shirt this year, I drew his name.  I did exactly what he asked for.

We were given a handmedown play center, so the kids look really spoiled.  They love it tho, and they are okay with used toys.  

 Kade didn't have an exciting Christmas, a little toy, a few movies, some parts for his truck, and a crock pot.  Sadly, he is the one that uses the crock pot the most.

I was spoiled, and a little grumpy at how much Santa spent on me.   I have been wanting a bosh for 4 years, and have pretty much burned up my kitchen aid by trying to make bread in it too much.  I love it so much, and making 4 loaves of bread is a breeze.   

Here is my family by our Charlie Brown tree.  We had it up for a record of 3 days.  The day after Christmas we took it down, because the kids just would not keep out of it.  Drake cried when we took it down "oh no, where is my christmas tree?" He cried until dad told him we will get a new one next year.  

I hope everyone had a happy holidays.
