Christmas

Christmas was M-A-G-I-C-A-L at our house! We had SO much fun watching the kids' excitement on Christmas morning when they saw what Santa brought. Mark left a note for Santa asking if he'd bring a few elves along to help fix the toys that had broken over the past year (aka transformer pieces that have broken from full-time use since last Christmas)! He was OK with Santa's reply, but that was a tricky one. We woke up to a dark, chilly house (as the power was out for a few hours) and a huge wind/snow storm outside. As far as days go that I would like to be stuck at home with everyone--Christmas would probably be at the top of my list--it was tons of fun watching the kids play with their toys and just having a good time together all day long. I don't have too many pics because my camera broke on Christmas Eve--ya, good timing, I know! Luckily Evelyn (my sister-in-law) got a camera for Christmas and was able to take a few for me. Enjoy.
