We live well~Laugh often~Love much: Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We all were spoiled! Usually the routine goes as follows: The kids wake us up, Bret says," stay in the hallway while I go check to see if Santa came or not." Then he SLOWLY sets up the camcorder and then finally says its ok to come in the family room. This year however, I got him a bike, so I woke the kids up, and they helped me get his bike in the family room. Then, they woke Bret up and we told him he had to wait in the hallway while we checked to see if Santa had come or not and to set up for pictures! :) After we unwrapped our gifts we went back to bed and waited till Bryce and Amber came over, then started all over again! The best gift of all of however, was talking to my little missonary boy! We put him on speaker phone and talked for about 2 hours! Then, he called later in the evening and we drove in to both sets of grand parents houses so he could talk to them! (Love those cell phones!) Nick is really happy and sounds so good, AND....this is his last Christmas in Peru. Yay!

Here is my goofy daughter..wearing her new ski mask and sleep mask...hahaha....so dumb! Notice the ugly santa socks she is wearing...shes so proud of them, the uglier the better to her!
