| Hallie making cookies for Santa |
We spent Christmas at home this year, and it was nice to be in our own house for the first time at Christmas. We had a really white Christmas, which I also loved!
We were planning on opening presents whenever the kids woke up, but Wes's alarm went off unexpectedly at 6, so we just decided to get up and get on with it! Wes's mom makes us matching pajamas every year, a tradition we love. This year all the boys had camo pants, and all the girls had pink pants.

The kids were very excited about their toolbench (we got it really cheap at KB Toys). They didn't want to open any of their other presents after that! We ended up opening their presents for them. We also got a trampoline as a family gift (although we're not putting it up until spring when most of the snow will be gone). Hallie was really disappointed that it wasn't put together.
After we were finished we headed over to my in-laws where they were just getting ready to open presents. Our nieces got these cars, which our kids both LOVED! They spent a lot of time just sitting in them, since there was too much snow outside to ride. Hallie came over to me after she had been sitting in the convertible and said, "Mom, I need snacks for my ride". The dads took the kids to our church building later that afternoon so they could ride around to their hearts content.
Per tradition, we went out to eat for breakfast Christmas morning and we had an amazing dinner of prime rib, ham, and lots of other yummy things! We really enjoyed spending the week with all of Wes's family, and watching the kids get excited about Christmas for the first time!

Cute pictures. I loved seeing your kids if only for a day. They make me laugh so much! Looks like fun at your house - I will come jump on the tramp when it stops snowing.
Thanks for the great advice! It's nice to know that someone else has felt the same way and that your teachers were so understanding. Also, it's good to meet more of Guffy's cousins...There are SO MANY of you! :)
