Christmas 2010

We had a really good Christmas this year. It was our first Christmas in 2 years in our own house. We really enjoyed having our own Christmas tree. We also had Mary, Jason's mom, with us. It was fun. The kids really enjoyed her being here. She took them on some fun adventures, once they were out of school. The first week she was here, this kids still had an entire week of school left. She walked them to school everyday, which I'm sure they really loved.


Jason picked out this tree. He did a great job too. It was beautiful, full, and very fragrant. Loved walking into our house and smelling the tree.


This is was our tree was hidden behind on Christmas morning. We had a hard time walking around this because it was almost right in the middle of our living room.


Here's Stacey opening an iTunes gift card from grandpa Bob. She was so stoked to get it and the iPod alarm clock. She uses the alarm clock every night to listen to music.


Jayden got himself a Nintendo DS iXL. He's played that thing everyday since he got it.

Kail got himself a V-Tech Mobigo. He calls it his "DS". He has also played this thing everyday since he got it.

After our own Christmas at home, we went to my mom's and had a bigger family Christmas there. The kids got many more toys there. We also enjoyed crepes for brunch and a nice prime rib for dinner. It is out of Christmas tradition, but it was really good.
The kids got so much stuff, I had to rearrange rooms to fit it all. Stacey got a jewelry making kit, a stuffed animal making kit, a camping set for some of her dolls, the iPod alarm clock, 2 iTunes gift cards, some clothes from grandma Mary, some jewelry from uncle Chris and aunt Becky, a UDraw for the Nintendo Wii, a UDraw game, and a beautiful ballerina quilt and a Tinker Bell figurine from grandma Lori. Jayden got his DS, a case for his DS, a bunch of games from grandparents on both sides and Santa, legos, some clothes from grandma Mary, some spy gear from uncle Chris and aunt Becky, and a really cool Star Wars book from grandma Lori. Kail got his MobiGo, some games, clothes from grandma Mary, legos, a Nerf gun from grandpa Bob, and a V-Tech Tag Reader (one of those things that looks like a pen and reads to kids) from grandma Lori. All three of them got a stuffed toy with a matching blanket from great grandma Doris.
As you all can see, they kids did not have much room for wanting things this year. They made off like bandits.
