Santa found our house this year

Wow the kids had an awesome Christmas. It took about 3 hours to open the presents because they would stop and play for awhile with each gift so they didn't rip thru everything in 20 minutes like I thought they would. The power went out Xmas eve so Joe and I were wrapping gifts by firelight.

Here are the kids at the YMCA..they wouldn't sit in Santa's lap but Joey had no problem telling Santa for 5 minutes that he wanted a "shooter gun" and a kitchen for his little sister

The kitchen was a big hit

We had fun with the nerf guns, aka Joey's "shooter gun" he asked Santa for, I wasn't sure I wanted to get him guns but that's all he wanted from Santa, so we didn't want to dissapoint him the first Xmas he really understood Santa
