Christmas

Christmas was wonderful. We had our first white Christmas, okay so Jared has had white Christmas' before, but it was a first for me & the kids and it was BEAUTIFUL! It snowed for a good portion of the day but somehow I didn't get any pictures. Everything was white, it was so pretty.

We got to spend it with my parents and my sister's family. I wish my brother could have been here too, it's been way too long! We also really missed all of Jared's family. We got spoiled living so close to them for the last 3 years. We'll have to figure out a way to see everyone soon.

As usual, the kids got way too much stuff, but it was so much fun to watch them. Addison actually understood that you got to ask for things you wanted and if you were a good girl then you would probably get them. She's really in to Barbie (I'm not quite sure how that happened) and the main thing she wanted was a Diamond Castle. Well, thanks to Santa (and a rebate incentive) she actually got one and it made her day. She's so funny though because she doesn't always show a lot of emotion, so unless you know her really well it's sometimes hard to tell how excited she is. Urban really enjoyed everything this year too, but since he doesn't have a lot of patience (really he doesn't have any at all) he would get upset with the packaging on his presents if it took us too long to get them free.
The puppy was pooped after ripping up all of the wrapping paper and chasing after the kids trying to steal their toys! =)
