Christmas #1

Today we did our immediate family Christmas celebration.  We do my side on Christmas Eve, and Chris's family on Christmas Day, so we decided to do ours tonight!  We had a nice relaxing evening.  Chris took the kids on a "look at lights" bike ride.  This has been his and the kids tradition the past couple of years.  He usually does it a lot more than one night, but it seems like this month has just flown by.  The kids love this, Noah rode his new bike, Kate rode Noahs old bike, and Kara was in the bike trailer.  Kara had her pillow and blanket in there, and looked like she was fit for a parade.  Crazy girl!  Then they got back and we opened presents.  It was so fun!  The kids loved everything, which was a major plus.. I mean, it would kinda suck if they hated everything...  :)  We had a nice, calm, evening.. which is a rarity in our house lately!  Before we opened presents Noah said the coolest thing.. he said that he didn't care what he got, he was just happy he had presents to open!  So cool!  I think he was really terrified he was really naughty this year!  ha!  After presents, I spent the next 3 hours up to my elbows in cake balls (your welcome, Dad!).  Anyways, hope you enjoy the next few pictures of our family Christmas! 
Love Noah's face in this one.  We bought him a bottle rocket--he loves
those things!  I told him we could take it to his school (there is a field back there) and
launch it.  He said, "No, I'm saving it for when we go to Big Papa's house"  So sweet!
btw, Big Papa is my grandpa. 

This is Kara in her tinkerbell outift.  She loves it, can you tell??

Kate adores snow globes.. Wherever we go, she always looks for snow globes.  We
got her a make your own snow globes and she LOVES it.

Daddy got a new shirt (from Noah), a neck pillow (Kara), and slippers(Kate)

I got a new space heater!  Sounds cheesey, but I get so cold and usually
I am the only one cold.  I had another space heater, but it broke, so Kate thought
I needed another one.  Sweet girl!!

SO, I'm bummed!  I started this post at 11:30, but it's now 12:03, so it's gonna post for tomorrow (well, actually today.. but I'm not going there).  It's gonna look like a skipped a day, and that is SO going to annoy me.  Bah. Humbug.

okay...so you should be able to "edit" your post and change the date it was posted (but you didn't hear that from me...the cheater). Also, yeah for space heaters...we have NO heat in our house, so that is what saves us :) Merry Christmas! Love you!
