~* We Made it *~

Can you believe it, we actually made it through Christmas! It is hard to believe that it has come and gone, but I have to admit that I am kinda happy! The kids filled our house with excitement this year.....which was so fun! Santa outdid himself at our house this year and left the kids lots of goodies! Garrett was so excited and ripped his packages open in 5 minutes flat! Ethan on the other hand, enjoyed opening but got rather bored of it after a couples minute in......which didn't bother Garrett because he ended up finishining it up for him!

The day was rather busy.....we started with breakfast here at home! My mom and dad came over early in the morning to see all the goodies from Santa! From here we went to eat with my mom's family, which was so nice this year! Having family that owns a restaurant played in our favor this Christmas.....they opened the banquet room up at Bonanza and we all gathered there! It was so nice....the kids could run freely and play, which worked well for our family! My aunts all went together and got my kids (and my nieces) gift cards for a couple trips to Splash Lagoon, which was a huge surprise! We are so excited to go!!! After that, we headed to OC to Kurt's brother's house! A long day filled with fun for the kids!

Today I took my grandma to see the movie "Marley & Me". Most of you know that I am not exactly an animal lover, but geez was this movie ever so sad! My goodness! If you want to see a good movie and have a good cry while you are at it, go see this one! I am a fan of Jennifer Aniston and she didn't let me down in this one.....it is a must see!

We have a busy week planned.......boy it will go fast! Vacation always does! Garrett was having a fit tonight that tomorrow is Monday and he ALWAYS goes to school on Mondays! oh how he just doesn't understand! Enjoy the pictures! This year I feel short on pictures! I sorta took it all in instead of being behind the lens all the time!
