Christmas Day

Our winter wonderland! This is what we got to look at while opening presents by our tree. So pretty!

Our Christmas Day turned out a little different than planned, but still was wonderful. We woke up early to open our presents that Santa had brought us. Jeremy and I lacked in the gift department this year for eachother. With all the craziness of my kidney stone issues, neither of us ever made it out shopping to get eachother anything! Jer got some baseball cards from a friend who owns a local card shop, but that was all at our house. We plan on getting out soon to get eachother our gifts. Anyway, the kids had a blast opening all of their gifts. Neither of them got a "big" gift but lots of smaller ones were great!

After we opened gifts we got ready to head to Grandpa and Grandma Klein's house. Of course, they went all out like always. The kids had tons to open and loved every minute of it. Us big kids had fun too, getting lots of great things. Thanks for everything!!!

After a while at their house, we were supposed to head out to my dad's house, but it had been snowing so hard all morning, by the time it was time to go it was pretty bad out on the roads. And to top it off, we lost a chain somewhere along the way. We actually found it later, by Jer's parent's house, but didn't know it at the time. SO, we ended up just going home. Sad, but it was a beautiful white christmas!!!

That night we were also supposed to have my mom and her husband, Stephen, over for dinner, but again, because of the snow they couldn't come. I had a nice meal planned with lots of food, but I decided that we had to have a Christmas dinner regardless, so I made it anyway and it was delicious!

The day was a little different, being at home most of the day. Usually we're off with family all day long, but the snow was coming down pretty good and we decided to just take it easy at home. It was nice to have that time though. The kids actually got to play with all their toys instead of waiting around until night or the next day. We ended up making a trip out to Jer's Grandma's house eventually a couple days later where the kids got lots more gifts. We also made it to my mom's and dad's house eventually. Our kids sure are spoiled! It's great to have so much family around though.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Presents! We went from zero under the tree to this, so it was a shock for the kids. It's not really that much!

Parker found the basketball hoop!

Sam is totally into "artsy" stuff, so she was really happy about this one!

Jer's one and only gift under our tree. Sad! I opened a gift that Sam made us of her hand print.

Parker opening his "Thomas the Train" DVD's. He loves trains!

Grandpa and Grandma Klein's house... Going there made up for Jer and my lack of gifts. And the kids made off VERY well too!

Samantha and her new Barbie pool. Just what she asked for :)

Jessica playing with Parker. She's such a fun aunt!
