Christmas... just a little late!

Hey everyone... well, I am finally going to post about Christmas! We woke up at 8:00 am , yeah for kids on a schedule, and young enough to not care about waking up early to see what Santa brought them! Long sentence, I know! Anyways... So we brought them in, and the first thing Brevan says is, "That's not what I wanted!" AGHHHH!! Are you kidding me. He had asked Santa for a Big teddy Bear, and a big Lightning McQueen. So that is what he got. The Teddy Bear is as big as me, and he got a big Lightning. Anyways.. he had just wanted a regular sized teddy bear, but now he is happy with the Bear. He sleeps on it every night and wrestles with it every day! It is fun to watch! He loves his Lightning too. Thank goodness he is 3.
Sydney wouldn't really open anything while we were watching her. She just wanted to play with what she opened. Then as soon as everyone was doing something else, then she tore into her packages. It was hilarious! She got a trike from SAnta.
Madisyn got this little penguin that is like a punching bag. She doesn't like it, it scares her! But... what do you get a 9 month old, when she already has a ton of stuff! And, they can't tell you what they want! But, she did have fun with her other toys... so that is good!
After opening presents in the morning, we went over to my parents house to open presents over there. The kids had a blast and got a bunch of stuff that they loved! Brevan got a Diego Dinosaur set that he absolutely loves!! Sydney and Madisyn got these dolls that are so lifelike, but they are to play with! They look like the girls, and the girls love them!! My parents got me a Wii, and Brett a table saw! We were very surprised and excited. I've been wanting a Wii for a while! I want to get the Wii Fit, I think that looks fun! So thanks mom and dad!
After that we went up to Brett's mom and dad's house. The kids had already opened presents from them at our house earlier that morning. They gave the entire family a day at 7-Peaks and the kids are very excited about that! They loved the little toys and books too! So thanks MaeBeth and Errol. We went up to play games and hang out with the family. Bryant, Kelly, and Cade were all home, and we were very excited to see them! It was nice to visit with them! We had fun playing games too.
Brett surprised me with some clothes and he got some tickets to go snowboarding from my uncle at Brian Head. I am very excited about that! I haven't been able to go for like 4 years. I've been pregnant and haven't dared risk it! I know I'm not a bad boarder, but you never know what could happen, so I haven't tried it! But this year... I AM NOT PREGNANT!!!!!! YEah!!!!
So, we are maybe going to go this next weekend for a couple of days! So thanks Uncle Mac! I can't wait to go!
I also got a new camera for Christmas. I sold my other one, and Brett gave me some money for Christmas to go towards the camera! I am very excited about it! maybe I already blogged about it, but I am excited! Brett got a ladder and a table for the router! And some clothes. That is what he wanted this year!
We went down to my grandma's for a party this year too! We had a great time, and the kids loved seeing santa, well, except for Madi. But, you can see for yourself in the pictures!
We had a great New Year's too. Everyone played games at MaeBeth's and Errols, and then everyone got sick! As the night wore on, 2 people ended up sick with the flu. Braxten and Kelly. So Branden and Chelsea left early, and Kelly went to bed early! It was quite the night! Then as the next few days went on, Sydney and Brett both got the flu too! Also, MaeBeth and Errol!! Branden and Chelsea too! It was a bad flu! Rustin and ShaVon and their family had already had it! There were only 4 of us that didn't get it down here! But, we still had a good night before that all hit!
We are glad that the holidays are over though! They were a lot more stressful this year, and I am glad to have them gone! We look forward to the new year and all that will come! We hope everyone is doing well and has a great new year too!! I'm going to post a slide show with pics! Too many to post separately!
Here is the slide show from my grandma's! I'll have to post Christmas later, taking too long to upload!
