XMAS! XMAS! XMAS!

We have had 3 days of big Xmas!!

Thursday night: We had Jim and Sandys xmas thursday evening. We had a night of lobster and little ceasars pizza! All the little kids got personlized backpacks with stuff for the Cruise. (goggles, airplane pillow, crocks, books, etc) The rest of the night was spent "swimming" around and talking about going on the boat w/mickey mouse.

Friday: Paulus Extended family xmas. We had a Soup off and everyone brought a different kind of soup to share for lunch. This years winner...Lacey and Jackson(Bread and Cabbage). We did a book exchange this year and everyone seem to enjoy it. That evening we did the paulus family gift opening. Carter was a lucky boy....cars, tool sets, games, helmet, sioux jersey were just a few items he received. Mason got lots of fun toys also (helicopter, shopping cart, monkey ball, and clothes). That evening we ate leftovers and played with all the new toys. Carter got cookies, milk, and carrots ready for santa to come.

Saturday Am: Carter woke up and ran to his plate of cookies and realized they were gone...ran around and then found all his presents from santa. Santa left carter his very own bike...and boy was he excited. After each present " i want to wear it now, or i want to play it now." Luckily he asked us to "save" them for him and would open the next one. Mason really enjoyed the wrapping paper.

We were very blessed this year to have everyone able to get together to celebrate. In a few days we leave for a week cruise with Mickey Mouse. We are thankful for a few days to rest before we start that adventure!

Merry Xmas!!!
