Christmas

Christmas was fantastic. I am not sure where to start. Chad and I have both have 2 weeks off of work, so there has been a lot going on. The pre-Christmas was spent baking and playing in the snow and singing Christmas songs. Christmas eve evening we went to church then got everything ready for Santa and his reindeer to come (put the reindeer food outside, leave milk/Juice, and cookies for Santa and of course carrots for the reindeer. We were out of large carrots, but I believe that the reindeer really enjoyed the pile of shredded carrots we left (less chewing necessary).

On Christmas, the MJ got up around 7 am then went and woke up CR. The boys opened the presents sooo slow. They opened one or two, then they wanted to play with them. It ended up taking us hours and spilled into the next day. We then went to G/G Troast's for Christmas dinner with them. The next day we chilled, then we headed for Lafayette, IN for several days there. We had Christmas at the Wiggins Farm, which is always a good time. Then we spent time with G/G Smit and had Christmas there. So many Christmas', so little time. Thank you everyone for everything!

Having a 4 and 2-year old really is magically at Christmas. The only thing I would have changed is CR wouldn't have had pink eye and MJ wouldn't have puked as soon as we got home from Indiana and all the next day or so.

Back to my lounging now.
Merry Christmas to all!
