Finishing Christmas...

I have been meaning to get the rest of my Christmas pictures posted and I decided that I was NOT going to bed until I did. Well, I am ready for bed, so here is the last of Christmas with us...

This year my MIL had a hip replacement a week before Christmas. Needless to say, it was a very laid back and relaxing time with them. We decided to get a bucket of chicken from KFC and go the easy way out. :) No meal to cook and no mess to clean. It was great!!!

The kids were a little disappointed when we started passing out gifts and they didn't have but one from Uncle Brandon and Aunt Samantha. You could tell that they were a little upset, but didn't want to say anything....FIL couldn't take their sad faces any longer, so he pulled out their gifts. MIL and FIL bought each of the kids a keepsake ornament...."Just an ornament?", you say....NOT just any ornament. Each ornament had a $100 bill inside of them. You can only imagine their excitement. My kids are at the age where they are not really "into" toys and they are "into" money! Ha! It was great seeing the excitement in their faces! Sweet memories!

Thank you MIL and FIL! We had a blast and the kids used their money very wisely:) We took them shopping the day after Christmas and Wade and I were very pleased with their purchases. They didn't just waste it on junk.

Our nephew, Hunter, was a lot of fun to watch this year as well as our niece, Rylee. They are both at the 'fun' stages and really know what is going on!!!
