Christmas 2008

I know this one is a little late too, sorry! Let me start with decorating the Christmas tree. The kids had so much fun getting all the ornaments out and hanging them on the tree. They actually did a great job spreading them out all over the tree. Kaleb liked putting the candy canes all on one branch, but Kassidy helped fix that. Kaleb started to sing Jingle Bells, but added his own verse which was adorable! He sang Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, put ornaments on the tree. So cute! The day before Christmas the kids made cute little notes for Santa telling him what they would like. Kassidy wrote almost all of hers by herself! That night the kids got a big plate of goodies ready for Santa with some dog treats for the reindeer.

We had a great Christmas! It was nice to hang out around the house all day and be very relaxed. We stayed in our PJ's all day (except Keith, he had to make a battery run!), put all our toys together and played a bunch with our new stuff. It was a great break from our everyday routine and very nice having daddy home all day long:) The kids slept in til 8, and thought it was so funny that Santa made a mess on the table and floor from the cookies and also by the fireplace with some dirt. Santa left a Shake 'n Go race track for Kaleb and a Barbie styling head for Kassidy unwrapped on the couch (Yes, the floor was too full from all the grandparents/family gifts!) Kaleb didn't want to unwrap anything for a good while, just play with his new cars and race track. Kassidy of course dug right in to unwrapping! Baby #3 even got some cute new clothes that big sis unwrapped for him.

We ended the day with a "show" by the kids. Lots of singing and dancing by the tree. They just love to perform for us!
