Christmas Day!

When I was a kid...I couldn't sleep Christmas Eve. I tossed and turned, I was so excited. I would make Phil stay up with me, and we would count the minutes until we thought mom and dad would let us wake them.

Not the case with our kids...we woke them at 8:45!

The wii was from us...little do they know, cais and I wanted it for ourselves!

And Santa was good to them...

My present to Cais...he thinks he's 'too old' to wear cool jeans, I beg to differ.

Check out that saweeet 'A'...definitely not 'too old'!!

My siblings came over with presents from each other, some good grub, & a crap-load of presents from grandma & grandpa (who supplied the money for the elves to shop for the kids)! Thanks mom and dad...we missed you!!

A perfect Christmas...

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve started with a fun lunch w/my family!!

.

And then we spent the evening w/Caiser's family...it was lovely!

Before bed...Ellie threw 'reindeer food & glitter' on the snow. Oatmeal for them to eat, and glitter for them to find our home! So cute!

Hope Santa comes...

Preschool Program!

Jack & Evan were awesome!

I can't believe how big these 2 are getting! So fun this year...they knew all the songs, and sang their hearts out!! It was great!

Margetts Family Party!

The annual Margetts family Christmas Party.

Held at Grandma Audrey's house this year...oh the memories!

And it didn't smell like mink 'too bad'...just the phone (according to Jill). And thanks to Steve and Christy for vacuuming and dusting!

Not the same without mom & dad, but good to catch up with family! And so fun to be back at 'grandma & grandpa's' house!

Dinner w/the Fam!

Dinner at Tepanyaki with the whole fam...well, minus mom and dad. So we chose a place in honor of them. Ate some Japanese food, the kids all attempted chop stix, and managed to fit all 12 of us on one table. The kids loved it! If the food wasn't so pricey, we'd eat here every time we went out together...the kids were in awe, didn't move, and ate everything!
