Christmas Time

Christmas is a fun time with children. The anticipation is so huge in a childs mind. Ashleigh has been counting down the days until Santa comes and Spencer has been teasing her every second of the day.

I pretty much convinced Ashleigh that I had given her Backyardigans and Dora the Explorer DVD sets. (Both of which she didn't want). But what else can you say when your children beg you to tell them what you got them. :)

Spencer has been very understanding about my financial situation and told me that he didn't need anything. How great for a 14 year old to say. So, I compromised and got him Halo 3 and a plastic ramp for his skateboarding. He was very happy.

I love my kids they are my greatest gift and am so grateful that after a very crazy and tumultuous year I still have them to look at and love and care for.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas morning.

Christmas Eve

Since I am a dork and didn't take any pictures of our Christmas Eve Chinese Feast I will use and abuse my sister Karla who always remembers to take pictures. Take a look at her blog here. Don't miss an awesome picture of Spencer looking like he likes to have his picture taken. It is a MIRACLE. :)

It is amazing to me what kids can do these days. Ashleigh my 10 year old daughter posted this comment all by herself. She is simply amazing and will go far in what ever she does. She has been able to surf the internet for years and has set herself up with emails and everything.
