Christmas

Christmas Eve we made and decorated sugar cookies, went to a movie, had Pizza Hut for dinner, then got ready for Santa to come. The kids opened their new Christmas pajama pants that I sewed for them then we all gathered around to listen to Jake read the Christmas story of Christ's birth. After that we watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", then set out Santa's sugar cookies and our stockings. The

kids all slept downstairs together and they were all asleep by 10:00. 

Christmas morning we woke the kids up at 6:00, opened presents, had a big breakfast and then Jake, Cody and I went back to bed while the Tyler, Brooke, Kennady and Zach watched their new movie Despicable Me 2. After a day of playing with games and toys, I made some clam chowder and rolls for dinner. I has been a wonderful year and we are so blessed. I love my family and can't wait for another great year!!

Zach got a Raptor and Thor costume

I love this picture of Cody with his new rocking horse, sticking his tongue out!

Tyler, Brooke and Kennady were spoiled! They got ipod touches and a kindle fire.

Zach in his Thor costume

After Cody was done with his rocking horse he headed right over to Polly's new dog blankets.
 Poor little guy, he was so tired and took a good long nap.
