Well I survived watching 6 kids for a week. I did end up taking my kido's of last week sledding. I left my youngest nephew there with my mom and took the other 5 with me. It was freezing cold, but we had a lot of fun. It was a good week getting to know my neice's and nephew better and seeing what it's like to have 6 kids.
Christmas was so much fun this year. Logan and Porter finally got the whole present idea down, and they went right to sleep on Christmas eve because they didn't want santa to skip their house. When we woke up on Christmas morning, Porter of course was the first one awake. We had to go wake up Logan. Once he heard us say Santa had been there, he literally jumped out of his bunk bed, and they both (Logan and Porter) ran down the stairs. They loved opening up all of the presents, so much that they tried to open everyone else's presents. They wanted to open up grandma's and papa's and great grandma's. Brandon and I had so much fun seeing their excitement and shouting out thank you's to santa with every gift. Even a few days later when I put on a shirt from Santa Porter would still say, "thank you Santa."
So far our tradition of Christmas eve is we spend it with my mom and have dinner. This year Brandon's parents were empty nesters and came and had dinner with us. The cousins all gave eachother their gifts and opened them. Then on Christmas morning we wake up and open presents at my moms and then go over to Brandon's parents for breakfast, and open up more presents. We are so glad that we have family that all is so close so we can spend time with everyone.
Brandon was here this last week, so we were able to play with our daddy. Brandon's dad Wally took a day off of work and we went 4 wheeling in the snow. It was freezing, but my boys wanted to keep going. Porter got too cold eventually and wanted to go inside and eat. This is Brandon and Logan making snow angels. I go to Detroit on January 23rd to get my hubby and then we'll drive back together, and life will be good again. We had a wonderful Christmas and hope you all did too.
