Christmas Recap

Lexi had her 1st piano recital on the 21st--she played Jolly Old St. Nicklaus--it was great.

This was our view on Christmas morning. It was so pretty.

Santa brought LULU kitty for Lexi, Double Light-Saber for Aaron, and guitar and mic. for Eli

Eli thought LuLu would come to him if called.

Lexi also got an art easel

Aaron enjoyed it as well

It was a wonderful Christmas. It didn't end here. We enjoyed the Chisms on Saturday, but forgot our camera.

Merry Christmas!

I know it has been forever since I posted. And on top of it, I never got our Christmas card out, as well. It is Christmas Eve and we are spending it , for the very first time, at our own home. We are also anticipating the arrival of SNOW! Our first white Christmas. The kids are bouncing off of the walls, which is expected. I hope they can fall asleep tonight. We just opened our first present together, which was Yahtzee (woohoo!) and we plan to play it here when Kevin gets back with our Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks! Ahhh....the traditions have begun. Lexi, who was told last year the truth about Santa after figuring it out herself, has, I guess, decided to believe that their is a Santa afterall. It's quite strange, actually. We aren't really sure what to say. But, at least it is by her own free will. It must be one of 3 things: 1-she's in denial, 2-she forgot, or 3-she just has that kind of faith. I think it must be 3. Aaron has battled the Dark Side all day anticipating more Star Wars Lego sets--lucky for him Star Wars was actually on Tv today. And Eli, well, he is just walking around singing with his imaginary guitar. He will be quite happy when Santa drops his gift off! Anyway, off to NORAD Santa tracker and my mocha!

WE wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS this year. Here is a picture of the card I made, ordered, and didn't mail.
