Christmas time was here again. How did it come again so fast? We had such a great day. It was so much fun decorating our new house and having all the space for all my decorations. I don't know how we were able to fit it all in our last house. We of course were lucky to have Tom our Elf on the Shelf back this year. He seemed excited to have more space to hide and pull pranks as well. It was hard getting ready for Christmas with a 2 month old, but we did it. We had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner. Trish made beef tenderloin and scallions and we had all the yummy sides to go with it. Giselle, Kevin and Lincoln came over as well. We each opened a present and read Luke 2 while the kids acted it out. We also each opened one present and the kids were anxious to go to bed so that Christmas would come sooner. Trish and Gabby spent the night with us and luckily Santa made it to our house that night and left us some great presents. The kids got an Ipad Mini (which they have been begging for about 6 months for) a trampoline and a ton of fun toys. David and Maggie got new bikes. They were both long over due for new ones and we are all excited to have them actually David got me a new laptop, which I was in desperate need of and also a new lens for my camera. I got David some house shoes and a candy dispenser for his new Media Room down in the basement. The media room was his big present to himself. We also got the kids a mini trampoline mostly as a joke, but it has been amazing, since we can't put up the big trampoline outside with all the snow. It is always so much fun to watch the kids open their presents Christmas morning and the pure joy and excitement they have. And the hours they spend completely entertained by all their new stuff those first few days!
