Christmas 2012

We had a great Christmas this year. :) The kids were really excited for Santa to come and had fun counting down the days until Christmas every morning. We brought them to visit Santa at the mall and even Landon (the shy one) sat on his lap and told him what he wanted for Christmas. Jayden wanted a microphone stand, Landon wanted books and Peyton wanted puzzles. And believe it or not - they all got those things from Santa (besides many other toys). :) Of course, the kids were spoiled by their grandparents, aunts and uncles too. Jayden got Legos, an ipod speaker, make-up, Big Time Rush Dance Party Wii game and many more. The boys got remote-control trucks, transformers, castle play set, Angry Birds game, walkie-talkies and more! We celebrated Christmas Eve with the Olson family at Papa & Grandma Karen's house and Christmas Day at our house with the Smith family. We also had extended family Christmases the following weekend. Corey and I were off work the entire week of Christmas, so we were able to take the kids to the Children's museum, McDonald's playland and also the E.C. indoor sports center on New Years Eve for a family fun night (bouncey houses, face painting, games, etc.). By the end of our break, I think the kids were ready to get back to school - they were starting to fight with each other constantly and mom/dad were DEFINITELY ready to get back to work too!! :)
