We had a great Christmas and I am enjoying my week of vacation with the kids!
The kids had their program for School last Thursday. It was really cute and the kids did great singing their songs! They got out of school on Friday for Christmas break. Mike's parents came up on Friday evening and stayed with us over the weekend. Christmas Eve the kids had their program at church which was nice. Each kid had to memorize a verse and repeat it this year. Payton was nervous but Carson was all confidence! They both did great!
We came home and opened a few early presents before setting milk and cookies out for Santa. Payton wrote a note to go with the treats and then they headed to bed. I am a kid at Christmas...I am worse than the kids...I get so excited! It took me forever to get to sleep and then I was awake at 5 in the morning...waiting for one of them to get up and come and get us...I waited until 7:00!! They slept in!
Before I knew paper was being ripped and giggles and laughter were filling our house! The kids loved their gifts and immediately went to playing with their new things. Mike's mom and dad left mid morning and I finished up our lunch. I made so much food! But it was too hard to choose what to make so I made a little bit of everything! We had a great day home with the kids and enjoyed staying in our jammies all day. Unfortunately Payton got sick around bedtime. She and I slept in the living room and she was better by morning.
The day after Christmas was a lazy one! We literally didn't do anything which was really nice! I have this week off of work so I get to stay home and hang out with the kids. Today we had a playdough day. We do not get the playdough out often because it is such a mess but the kids love it. Today they had three hours of uninterrupted play! I think we will try to make our own tomorrow! Wish us luck!
Here are some pictures of our Christmas activities!
