Christmas weekend!!!!!

First of all I just want to say how fast Christmas seems to go by now that I am older. I can remember as a kid that Christmas seem to last forever and now it is over in the blink of an eye. It is funny how things change as we grow up. Anyway, our Christmas weekend began on Christmas eve when Poppy and Gigi finally arrived. I only say "finally" because if you have ever waited with Reagan on a day when she knows her Gigi is coming all you hear all day long is: "Is Gigi here yet? well "Where is she then?" How much longer until she gets here? Reagan will truly drive you insane until her Gigi is standing in front of her. We were all at Brad's house when they got here and our Christmas adventure began. Poppy and Gigi's tahoe was completely loaded down with presents so we used all the help we could get to unload the car. After several trips back and forth we finally finished and went inside to visit.

After we played and ate supper we gathered the kids in the backyard to sprinkle the reindeer food all around so Santa wouldn't miss our house. This was mostly fun for Reagan and a little disturbing to the boys -who actually thought reindeer were already outside and we were going to feed them.





After we fed the reindeer it was inside for bath time.


After bath time we went back downstais to try and get a great picture of the kids in front of the tree with all of the presents. Boy were in for it. Who knew it would be so hard to get a 1 yr. old, a 2 yr. old and a 4 yr. old to be still and look at a camera AT THE SAME TIME. After about 10 minutes we gave up and said whatever we had would have to do. Here is my best outcome:






Now it is off to bed so Santa can come- I am sure he is getting tired at this point!!

We have so many pics from Christmas that I think I made a slideshow. I hope you enjoy. We had a blast this year. All the kids were old enough to understand presents and how much they love opening them.
