Christmas Day

After lots of planning and much anticipation, Christmas morning finally came. We stayed at our house for the morning which was so nice not to have to pack up gifts and such. This was our living room after Santa arrived. Elliot got a Barbie house that I think was a hit. She has already spent many hours perched next to it arranging and rearranging.



Grey got a little kitchen since he seems to love to play in mine so much and a few other little things. My parents got the kids the red wagon.



After getting things a little cleaned up and ready for the day, we headed to Spokane to Grandpa Snook and Grandma Jana's house. We met Aunt Lisa, Uncle Kelly, Ryan and Kolby there as well. We had great presents again and even better company and food. We did, however, get to bring a wii home with us which was a special treat to us!

The kids waiting for dinner:

The kids playing outside for a few minutes- it was very cold!!!
Elliot and Grandma Jana:
It was such a nice Christmas together with family and even somewhat relaxing. Most importantly though, I am grateful for the true reason for the season- that Jesus Christ was born humbly in a stable and was the perfect example of how we should live our lives and later died so that we may live.

Does that mean you got a Wii for Christmas? Or just borrowing it? You need to get the new Mario Brother's game and the Hasbro game night game. Both are my fav.

Oh no we have our own. I played the Mario brothers at my parents house and will be bringing that back with me next time we visit! Way fun!
