Christmas came and went, in a blink of an eye. We went to Temple square and saw the lights, Brittin had gone to the Nutcracker with James during the day and had stayed up all night waiting for her date and then woke up early to go to work with James that by the time we made it to Temple square she was in one of her moods and there was no getting out of it. So that is what is happening in the picture, documentation for Brittin's husband, we want to make sure we warn him.:) ON Christmas day We had a great time, it was just the putting away which wasn't such a great time. I didn't know where to put all the new stuff or should I say the new toys, we didn't get anything just the kids. The kids got everything they wanted, with a few exceptions, Brittin asked santa for an American girl doll and she ended up with 2 small american girl dolls, because santa saw her acting bad a couple of times and she couldn't get the exact thing she wanted. Kolbryn just kept opening presents and not even looked at what he got, when we packed up to leave, I had each kids things in a box and he said, I didn't get this and I said yes you did I saw you open it, so he had Christmas twice in one day. The only thing he remembered that he got was autobots and he said he hated it them. Logan just had a sad look on his face the whole morning until he opened his starwar legos and then that is all he did the rest of the morning with Eric, was put it together and make sure no one touched and then yell at everyone that wanted to look at it. But other than, things went well. Except when they were asked to put things away. THey got some new wii games and they couldn't put the controllers down long enough to clean up, so then they were forced, by James and then the tears came, (and not just from the kids). OH the Christmas spirit, gotta love it. o
We are a boring family, most days and exceptionally on Holidays. We went to a show with nana and papa and cousins, that wasn't boring but then we drove around to this house by the temple that we pass every soccer practice that has tons of lights and never stop so I said we should give that a good look, when we went right in front of the house it had a sign that said to turn your radio to a station and the lights would go to the music, so we turned it to the station and all it was was static with a few burst of music, which my kids thought were burps and gas passing and they laughed and laughed . THen we came home and let the kids watch a show till midnight, Brecken was jumping up and down saying I get to stay up, I get to stay up, I didn't even know he knew what staying up meant but he did, he is so smart. Kolbryn asked if he could go to sleep and have us wake him up and I said I would, so we turned the channel to the big ball drop and started counting down and I ran and got all the kids pots and spoons to make noise with then I remembered to wake up Kolbryn, I remembered one year my mom said she would wake me up and didn't I was mad for a week, so I woke him up and he wouldn't wake up, he was crying and walking around with his eyes closed, that is what the picture is of. We looked out our back door and saw all the lights from down town and the whole valley, I love my view, it was fun and then in one min. of making noise and scream I sent the kids to bed and they went. James and I stayed up and watch a show and then we had just gotten some new cable channels I watch some more shows and finally went to bed at 6 and got up at 8 with the kids. And then went Shopping to look for deals while James stayed home with the kids.
