Happy Holidays

We had a great christmas! Spent the whole day christmas eve cooking. I learned last year that I needed to have a timed cooking schedule which worked great this year and I had some help watching the kids from Cathy while the boys went hunting, well brent was sleeping. He's been working the night shift and he also had to work christmas eve night so he was getting his rest. Dinner was ready on time and Brent's Parents and Brice had dinner and opened some gifts, we did our PJs and read the Night before Christmas and we were going to sing songs and read more books but Brent was off to work and the kids were just too excited for santa to be good so I felt it was best that they went to sleep instead.

Dakota with no jammie pants because with impatience she spilt water all over them. And Paige went to bed a little earlier.

Christmas morning arrived bright and early I was feeling pretty tired when the girls came into my room and asked if santa had come I told them we would have to wait and see until dad had come home from work so I started reading some stories I had put out the night before to wait for dad to come home before we opened presents. Then as I was reading I looked over at the clock and it was 3 o'clock in the morning so I finished the story and sent them straight back to bed. (I need my beauty sleep you know.:) So then again Dakota rose at about 8:00 and Cloe didn't wake up untill Daddy got home. He got a fire started (or tried to anyway the wind kept blowing it out.) and we lit the tree and the girls came out to see the tree. I was laughing very hard becuase when they came out to see the tree they were just staring in disbelief somehow they were expecting something different, more less I'm not sure but it was really cute and then they really did get into their stockings.

Paiges favortie gift: The Orange
Most of the rest of the day was spent playing with their new things and or keeping them away from each other. And watching shows and relaxing.



Then we went over to Trevor and Trish's for Dinner. It was a lot of fun and the food was delisious. I loved the Crab Pastries. We had lot's of other foods and traditions from Sweden. I like their tradition of celebrating other countries festivities, it was really neat and of course great company.Paige and Bryant were so cute playing together. Very Happy Babies!It's always a surprise what the Holidays will hold and you know they are never going to be perfect I'm just glad for all of the great parts this year. Especially my new Vaccum. :) It's soooooo Awesome!
