Christmas

Christmas was a lot of fun, even though we were a little bummed we didn't get to go to Utah or Oregon to visit family. We made the best of it, and had our own little celebration with our family. On Christmas Eve we went to a friend's house, the Billings. They made a delicious dinner then we went out caroling. We are not big on caroling but it turned out pretty fun. We decided it was the only way we could crash other peoples parties and get away with it!
Christmas morning we woke up and the kids checked out their stockings and gifts from Santa. Dayna got an art easel, Ethan got some sports stuff, and Chelsie got a doll and stroller. After that we ate breakfast and the kids opened the rest of their presents. Soon after that Evan got called out to work and was gone for the rest of the day, but it was ok because we didn't have any other big plans. I was going to make a big dinner with ham, potatoes, rolls, etc. but we ended up having it later that week because there was no way I was going to make a big dinner and then have to sit there and yell at my kids to eat it! Anyway, Christmas turned out to be a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from the big day...



This picture cracks me up because she looks like shes nursing the baby.



The day after Christmas we went and bought the kids some remote control cars. Oops! We didn't quite get our shopping done before Christmas and Evan had really talked up getting these cars so the kids were really excited about it. Evan wanted to get really fast, fancy remote control cars (for him or for the kids?) but in the end we just got some cheap but fun remote control cars. We went straight from the store to the park to try them out.





One last picture of the kids in their new Sunday clothes. Ethan didn't actuallly get anything new, but he sure looks handsome!

Merry Super Late Christmas Everyone!
