it seems like leading up to christmas we spend a lot of time planning and thinking about what to get the kids. what we will eat and when. i even have the thought about once a year that maybe we should tell the kids about santa when i hear other people explaining why they do it. but, as the kids get older it just gets more fun and to hear them excited for the jolly guy in the coat is pretty cute! as usual my kids were spoiled and got so many toys! our playroom is now filled with even more cars, balls, and tools! avery's wardrobe grew and she changed her outfit a few more times than normal. and i got totally spoiled! this might have been their best christmas yet! they each looked on as the other opened their gifts and have actually been doing a great job of sharing! here are some snaps from the day. although, it still doesn't feel like i took enough!
