Merry Christmas

We had a great day with Papaw Sonny today.  He came down to spend the day with us and bring the kids their presents.  It's the first time since Mark and I have been together that we have not all gotten together either before or after Christmas.  Stephen, Carla, and the boys are in Vancouver for Christmas so we had to change things up this year.  Luckily, we were able to spend Thanksgiving together and see everyone.

The kids were so excited that they wouldn't even get dressed.  Cooper told me that he didn't have to be dressed to open presents.  Guess he has a point, although SpongeBob pj's are not what I would have picked for pictures....
PaPaw brought too many presents and my kids must have asked a thousand times if they could open them while I was cooking lunch.  We finally gave in and let them have at it.  Cooper especially loved his laser remote control trucks!  Kam loved her Barbie Video Girl and had a good time making videos of everyone.
Cooper pretty much crawled all over Papaw all afternoon long and begged to play the Wii.  Is there a Wii addiction support group?  Because he is seriously addicted!  And before you think bad of me, he is limited as to how much he can play, but it's Christmas vacation so we've let him play a little more than normal. 
Cooper did NOT want Papaw to leave and begged him to stay!  HInt, hint Papaw...next time-spend the night!

We were going to go see the Christmas lights at Garvan tonight but I couldn't talk anyone into actually getting ready to go.  I think everyone is pooped--especially Cooper!!  Guess we'll see them after Christmas.
Hope your Christmas is blessed!   Take time to remember the true "reason for the season!"
