Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We went to church on Christmas Eve with all the kids and also Ann and her 4 boys. We pretty much took up the whole cry room at St. Sabina....3 adults and 8 kids! They were good though.

Christmas morning we woke up and opened gifts from Santa. Then we went to my moms house and had lunch and opened more presents. I don't have any pictures from that b/c I'm always so busy with the kids. But everyone was very well behaved and they didn't even have naps. It was a very relaxing Christmas (especially compared to our Thanksgiving!).

Alli looking for the gifts with her name - and from looking at the far side of the basement, we really didn't need any more toys!! They all got so many gifts.

We did a lot of video from Christmas morning, but didn't take many pictures. Cassie LOVED opening the gifts.....Jenna and Jimmy didn't really care too much.
I think they liked the candy canes the best :)
I think Santa did good with the doll house! She really likes it.
We celebrated Christmas in Pawnee the next day at Jason and Kristen's house. It was fun and we had good food there too! Kristen's mom and brother were there too. The kids opened gifts and they played a lot, mostly Rock Band.
