Max enjoying a little taste of snowChristmas Eve was a blast. We have started a tradition of getting together with our friends the Checketts every Christmas Eve. This year it was our turn to have it at our house. We ordered pizza, wrote silly poems, read the Christmas story, sang songs and opened pajamas. We love getting together with this family, our kids are all of the same ages so it is definitely fun for everyone!

Well Christmas came and went. I hate to sound a little down about it but it wasn't one of our best. Three out of our six kids were sick, I mean really sick. Raegan, Tyler and Sydney could hardly get out of bed and when they did it was only to throw up! And because of the sick kiddos my dad could not come around because he is currently doing Chemo treatments and his immunity is too low. So there was really no playing with toys, no sledding or playing in the snow, I don't even know if the kids even realized what they or each other got Christmas morning. Even our Christmas dinner was canceled. We were supposed to go up to my cousin Shelley's house for a big dinner but with sick kids and a wild snow storm outside we were stuck staying at home with a dinner consisting of Croisant sandwiches and chips. Which only a portion of our kids could even eat! The day after Christmas was much better. Kids were looking more alive and played and hung out together. This will be a Christmas they will probably never forget.
Santa was pretty lucky, he almost got in big trouble this year. For some reason none of Raegan's presents were from Santa this year. She was heart broken. Untill she remembered that she had left a note on the igloo outside specifically telling Santa to put her presents in the igloo. So after everyone was done opening presents Raegan was a little teary eyed. She thought that she had been a naugty kid this year. Untill she checked that igloo!

The Igloo with Raegan's note. It was empty the night before but had presents in it on Christmas.

Oh, I hope everyone is feeling better now! How fun that Santa played in Reagan's igloo! That is one cool Santa!
So sorry about sick kids on Christmas! That's no fun! A couple of my girls were throwing up on Christmas Eve, and I was in a panic that we'd all be sick on Christmas day.
I love all your new pictures! I can't imagine that much snow, and keeping kids happy, smiling, and dry for pictures. Cute!
The picture of Max tasting the snow is priceless. Could be a cute Christmas card.
Sounds like an unforgettable Christmas.
