plans changed, and my dad had to work on christmas... so we switched some things around and we went to my parents on christmas eve day to celebrate with them. we exchanged gifts with them, had some coffee and munchkins, and then were on our way. it was a quick visit, but it was perfect!
soon after we got home, craig's family came over. again, the kids loved all of their presents and really started getting excited about christmas morning. everyone left by 5:30, and we enjoyed a yummy dinner. after dinner the kids decorated some treats for santa, then enjoyed some dessert for themselves.
after baths we snuggled and listened while craig read "twas the night before christmas", and then we put out cookies for santa, and sprinkled some reindeer food on the front lawn. after a long fun filled day, the kids were out cold! then it was time for santa to get busy.
this morning carter came into my room around 5ish while i was feeding graham... i told him it was a bit too early, to lay back down. at 7:00 he came back with mason and they jumped on our bed. it was party time!!! the boys went into hadley's room and woke her up. she had no idea what was going on, since she was half asleep.
we all walked downstairs together, and carter shouted "we hit the mother load". it was so funny! they kids were so happy and they loved everything!!! santa did great!! craig ordered me my "graham" charm for my necklace, and i love it!!! i ordered craig and i north face jackets, and i love them... so warm! the pictures say it all! we had a fabulous day, played with all the new toys, stayed in our pj's, ate chinese food.
craig is on vacation this week, and i am so excited to have him home! the word on the street is that a blizzard is rolling into town tomorrow night, and we are "suppose" to get a foot of snow!!! i wonder if i'll be able to make it to my 6 week post-partum appointment on monday? i was excited to see my doctor.
anyways, i'm going to go finish watching "my sister's keeper" and cry my eyes out!!! i hope everyone had a great christmas, and enjoyed spending the day with the people they love.
Four kids really does add up to a lot of presents there! It looks like Graham is already changing a lot and getting big. We have to travel home in the morning to beat the storm. Should be fun to be snowed in for a couple days!
