Merry Christmas!














We had a great Christmas! We had 3 fun filled days of it actually. I was off work all week so it was nice to spend time with the kids. We started family gatherings on Thursday at Donn's Uncle's house. The kids had fun. Friday was a day at my parents and we got to see my grandmother which was nice. We got home pretty early b/c the kids were ready for Santa. We finally got them to sleep by 10 or so. They were so excited. Christmas morning was a beautiful white Christmas. Santa came and the kids love their presents. Ty's was all about Beyblades, Bakugans, and a Nintendo DSI. Ellie got a Tinker Bell scooter and a Vtech pink computer and she loves it. We got them movies, clothes and a few other toys but they don't come close to what Santa brought them. My parents came over for breakfast then we got dressed and headed to Donn's brothers house for dinner. We made it a quick visit since it was still snowing and the roads we getting slick. The kids had a blast and it was a GREAT Christmas.
Looking forward to spending New Year's Eve with friends.

Shopping & Snow! Christmas is almost here!

We have had a lot going on lately and trying to fit in some Christmas shopping. We are almost done. We got snow last night and its so pretty. We went to our Sunday night small group in the snow and had a great time. The elves have visited the kids during the night this week and left them candy canes or candy. They look forward to seeing if they have come every morning. Its so cute. Ty has this week of school plus 2 half days next week left. I am taking off work next week so I can enjoy some time with Donn and the kids.
I am super excited about a girls weekend in Chicago in February. I can't wait! The hotel and flights are booked but I just hope we don't get tons of snow up there when we go and get stuck. :)
