Christmas past......

It's so bittersweet that Christmas is over.

For something that took a month to prepare for it sure does go by real quick. Like 3 hrs! Open presents, eat food and crash.

I usually stall putting Christmas decorations away because I hate for it all to end. Like after the New Year stalling.

But I am obsessed with Just Dance 4 and I need my room to boogie!!

We are finding out small spaces do not work with the Kinect. We had to move the couches back to the L-shape for the tree but I am tearing that sucker down so we have our big living room back.

If you're short like kid short it's hard to get them on the sensor so we have to really get the big area back to register Max and Mila better.

We have been playing soccer, Wipeout, Dragonball Z and so many more fun games.

Brandon made the comment that no one is on the computer.

My GOAL!!!

Here's our Xmas adventures!!!

Troy and I ran around town all day finishing up last minute stuff. In the middle of it all he knew I needed to get the brows done but I didn't wanna waste our time.

He drove me there in the middle of our rush and pushed me in. I love that man :)

 and in case you wonder why I snap a pic of things I did..it's for my December Daily :)

 had to catch the rainbow

that night we had our Xmas light adventure

the kids all found a bell with a candycane on their seat

punching tickets for the ride!

I even brought the train whistle so everyone knew we were coming

Eric came along too and that made it even more loud and more fun

hot chocolate and coffee run

the website really helped out and we mapped our route to the best houses

lots of movies and quiet playing with each other

I have to say the days leading up to Xmas were actually peaceful as far as the kids were concerned. I thought for sure they would be going crazy but they all were great.

on our way to my grandparents..jammies and all! It's a tradition we have been doing since I was little

Daddy and his..I mean our PS3

one of my Xmas presents came and I tore it open on Xmas Eve

Eric bought the kids and Troy and I presents this year and I bawled like a baby when I read the heart felt card. Damian has been slam dunkin' with his glow in the dark hoop Eric got him.

Max stoked he got Pokemon toys from his biggest brother

I was holed up in our closet wrapping presents for hours

ok Damian has legs for days in this picture haha!!

every year we go to my Dad's Xmas morning for breakfast and more presents

then back to my house for dinner. I was so beat that day.

Mila has been skating all around the house scaring the buh-jezzus outta me

The star of Xmas day. Max is loving his firehouse. We were so excited to find it at Costco. It's all wood right down to all the furniture and for some crazy reason I wanted to put it together before Troy came home.

It was worth the back pain lemme tell ya.

I'm sorry but my kids can DANCE!! The fave here is Flo Rida and Justin Bieber. Those are the dances they have down pat so far.

Max wanting to eat his alien brains. Don't ask.


Hope you had a wonderful Xmas!!

We're gonna relax today, do a little shopping with gift cards and just spend some much needed time hunkered down at home enjoying all of our goodies.
