Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas!

 Gracie screamed with joy opening a gift from Santa of 15 books

 Santa brought Luke a turtle habitat. He has been wanting a pet turtle for a few years. 

 Legos. Enough said.

 Sophie got a real microphone, clothes and a knitting machine. But to pose for a picture she was loving on her enormous Hershey's kiss.

 Jason got all of the kids a motor bike. He built it and we tested it out while the kids were in school. I crashed pretty spectacularly and we laughed out heads off. But Christmas morning it promptly broke. Starting mechanism in pieces. Such a bummer. Kids are still excited, but sad to have it be broken first thing Christmas morning. Grace made me smile all dressed in pink with her pink bb gun.

It was pretty cold but we played out side a lot. This is a fun game Santa brough Luke. You can see our chicken coop in the background. It was Jason and I's gift this year.

I am always sad to not be with family on holidays. This year was no exception. But we had a relaxing fun day. We stayed in pjs and read, ate lots of candy, played games and hung out together. We played a new game Grandma Hardy got us called Headbandz before bed and laughed and laughed together. It was a wonderful day.
