So since I can't think of anything creative to blog about, I'll just share how our Christmas went. We had our annual Beardall party in the Big Horns the weekend before Christmas. Lots of fun. The kiddos got to play with their cousins, and we went sledding and swimming and exchanged gifts. Yup. Fun fun fun! The kiddos and Ryan got out of school on Wednesday afternoon, and we've been chillin' at the house and just enjoying break! On Christmas Eve we had dinner, swiss steak and pasta, and had some sparkling cider in fancy glasses and ate on real plates with a tablecloth and everything! Just so you know--that's WAY fancy for us :) The kiddos acted out the Christmas story, complete with robes and towel shepherd hats and we talked about the real meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate the way we do.
We let the kids open a few presents from us, including the traditional gift of new jammies for everyone.
Then we loaded up in the truck and drove around touring the lights. This of course put Jarom right to sleep, and the other two followed suit fairly quickly. Lo and behold, Santa came to our house! Blake woke up at 4:30 to use the potty and came running in to tell dad that Santa had come. Dad's reply? "Go back to bed, it's not time to get up yet". Which he did. Such a good boy. But by the time 6:00 rolled on by, Emmalee had woken up and everyone else joined right in. We all opened presents, the kids all got the pillow pet they wanted, Blake got his Wii game, Emmalee got her barbie video girl, and Jarom got his Thomas. And of course a few other things as well. They had a good Christmas. Even Sammy got into the Christmas spirit:)
We spent the morning lounging in our PJ's, eating junk food and playing with new toys. We went to Ryan's sister's house for lunch and to play with cousins, and then we headed over to visit my sister and Ryan and Frank went bird hunting while the girls and the kiddos chilled at the house.
