Christmas Morning

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is ready to party into the New Year. We spent our Christmas morning just the four of us, but enjoyed Christmas Eve and Christmas evening with our friends. The boys actually slept until about 8:30am Christmas morning before making us get up for Santa. Austin even asked to shower first. The boys were happy to come down to see what Santa brought. Santa brought Austin a powerwing and Ethan a RipStick, some video games and lots of other thing. They made out like bandits from us and the grandparents. Ethan got the OU jersey that he has been asking for and Austin got a Dallas Cowboy blanket. Grandma & Grandpa got the boys big gifts. Austin got a laptop computer and Ethan got a PSP. We went in halfies with the laptop and bought games and "stuff" for the psp.

We had a wonderful Christmas. Our favorite gift of all was the WiiFit. It is soooo much fun. I'm using muscles I forgot I had.

Christmas Pictures & Christmas party

Thank goodness Christmas only comes once a year. We are a little late getting things started this year. So...with my kids being almost 9 and 11, you would think that taking a few pictures would be easy....WRONG!!!! They grumped and wined and yelled and grumped some more. We finally decided to take the dogs out of the pictures and that helped. In the end, we got some great pictures. You will see these again, but it may be New Years!!

We also had Russell's Christmas party on Friday. It was alot of fun. We went out on a boat called the Spirit of Norfolk. It was a dinner cruise and dancing. It started early (at 4:00) and after our "3 hour tour" we headed over to the club for a little after party. It was so fun. Russell just DOESN"T dance, but he sure it on Friday...after a little (or alot) liquid courage. :)
