A very Merry Christmas

Sebastian knows what is in that big package for him. Despite all of the horrible weather, Santa Clause made it to our house this year. All of the kids were very wound up in anticipation of him coming. Thank goodness for the Wii from Uncle Mark to tame some of the energy in our house the last week. For Christmas Eve, we ate nacho's and the kids all got to open one gift......NEW JAMMIES! They all lookes so cozy and cute. In the morning, Ryan and Arrow were the first to get up. All I could here downstairs were loud footsteps going back and forth. I think that they were trying to count how many presents they each got. Then, Sebastian woke up and everyone else within a few minutes. They dove into their stockings, which were packed with lots of good stuff. Santa was very generous this year. All of the kids were happy, especially Sebastian with his new electric guitar. Later that morning, we made it to Grandma and Grandpa Canty's (2 trips in the Bronco) and we had a yummy turkey and ham dinner and with full bellies enjoyed opening presents. I tell ya, that Grandma Canty sure is good to everybody! With some help from Uncle Michael, we all made it over to Grandma and Grandpa Streeters for another dose of turkey and ham along with lots of snacks and goodies. We all ate like kings that day. We enjoyed watching the kids open their stockings. Grandma Streeter always knows what the kids like. They really had a great Christmas this year. I'm glad that it is over, but it was nice to get together with family. Now the fun part of putting everything away!



Me and Faithy.....are ready for Santa to come down the chimney. They were all very worried because we had a fire going on Christmas Eve. I let them know that Santa is magical and would not get burned.



Here are the girls in their new jammies.



Sebastian in his new Batman jammies. He was getting tired. They all went to bed without any trouble...surprise!



Here they are eating up their Nachos. They love em.



Looks like Santa has already come.



We made sure to leave cookies and milk for Santa and Celerey for Rudolph and the other reindeer.



Arrow left a note for Santa that wanted an authentic signature that he exists. She does not believe me that he is real. She was surprised in the morning to see that he had actually signed it and does exist after all.



Steve, almost passed out on the couch....alot of help he was.

Arrow was so happy to have her own big girl deoderant.
