Merry Christmas a little late

I've been slacking on my blog again. I kinda felt like I didn't really have anything post worthy to share. Christmas has come and gone (mostly--one last family party tonight) and, as much as I was dreading Christmas morning, it turned out to be an enjoyable time with the kids. It was more relaxed than I thought it would be (ok, I was more relaxed) and the kids liked their gifts (I was scared they wouldn't).

Thanks to everyone who sent cards. I love getting the updates and photo cards so I can see how everyone has changed. My goal for next year is to make our cards so I need to remember to prepare way ahead of time. If you know me then you know that is one of my weaknesses. ;o)

Here are a few pictures from Christmas Eve with my parents and Christmas Day.


Here's Miss Lauren with her itty bitty Sesame Street back pack. She liked it so much she wore it the whole time we were there and on the way home.


This is Todd with his Pokemon quilt my mom made him. She made all the kids quilts with matching pillow cases. He doesn't look very excited, but he really liked it.


Here's Zack with his quilt. You can't really tell what the print is, but it has all different sports stuff on it. This one was my favorite.

Matt's quilt is Spiderman. He was so proud of it. The quilt is hiding his big grin.

And last, all the kids with the scarves I made them.

Lauren has a quilt, too, but I didn't get a picture of hers for some reason. It's a super cute hot air balloon print.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
