Christmas

Well we had a different kind of Christmas around here. It turned out to be a white Christmas. . .in fact there was so much of the white stuff that we were stuck in our home for several days. On Christmas eve is when the stuff moved in. . .the highways where even closed I am not sure when that could of happened in the past but I do not remember it ever happening.

I was super bummed when Anthony suggested that we stay home both on Christmas eve and Christmas day. He could tell that I was disappointed (pouting) so he said if I wanted to go we could try. . .I knew it wasn't in my children's best interest especially since one of the places we were going to was in Edmond and the other in Norman and we are in the middle of OKC.

So we made the best of it stayed warm, sang songs, played with the kids, watched movies, played games, drank hot chocolate. It was really a nice couple of days.

This picture was taken out my back door while it was still light outside on Christmas eve and while it was still far from over!



This is my kids on Christmas eve after we were singing Christmas songs in front of the tree and watching the snow come down like crazy out the windows.



On Christmas night Caden was not about to go to sleep so he ended up coming to our bed while we snuck around the living room and helped Santa. . .once that was done we all went to sleep. . . till little Caylea bug woke us up before 8:00. The girls were so happy and excited. Caden on the other hand was a little grump for a short amount of time.



Caylea's only request from Santa was a Panda bear . . .Santa is so good!



Carolina's ONLY Christmas request was this Dora Dancing doll. . .however mommy thought she wouldn't play with it and it cost way too much for a toy that just sits around and never gets touched. . .however Santa had Carolina's desires at heart so she got what she wanted.



Caden's request to Santa was a guitar and that was really the only present he cared about on Christmas morning (yes we gave him a sucker at 8 AM and it helped his Christmas mood)



After all the presents were open, the kids ate a yummy breakfast daddy made, the toys were opened and put away, the trash was all out of the house we all went out side to play in the snow on Christmas day. . .the 14 + inches of snow.







Even daddy was jumping in the big snow drifts!



After an hour or so of playing outside in the snow everyone came inside soaked to the bone from making snow angels, having snow ball fights and just playing in yes SNOW!

After everyone got dried off and warmed up we had more of our family fun! In fact Anthony has been off since Christmas eve and does go back to work till after New Years so we have been having a whole lot of family fun this week! In fact this is mommies little Vacation. Anthony has been letting me sleep in, making almost every meal, and oh so much more. . .he even gave all three of the kids baths yesterday. I even got to go hang with my friend for several hours while he took care of Caden! I am not looking forward to next week when daddy goes back to work. Caden especially is going to have a really hard day :(
