Christmas 2013

The kids were thrilled with what Santa brought them this year! Sidney loves her new cart she can fill up and dump out and push around. It will also grow with her and turns into a ride on toy and then a shopping cart! Georgia, Hayes and Emmaline got a guitar, microphone and stand and a keyboard. It was very exciting and loud in our living room all day! Unfortunately, the microphone was loved a little too much and broke within the first 24 hours. Oops! Hayes loves the guitar most, Georgia the microphone and Emmaline the keyboard! We have our own band being formed! After we pilfered through Santa gifts and stockings Daniel cooked a big breakfast and we just hung out. It was so fun and relaxing really. Even though the kids were overly excited, we were able to hang out and enjoy the fun. Daniel and Pop started the playhouse, as one of their gifts, in the backyard a little after presents. The kids were so excited. I don't think they understand the process but are happy to 'help'!We opened gifts from family and eachother and made a huge mess of paper and trash! Georgia, Hayes, Emmaline and even Sidney were too much to watch. They loved it! What special memories we made!One of my parents' gifts was tickets to Disney Junior Live. They were thrilled and so ready to see Sophia, Dr. McStuffins and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. The day after Christmas me and my mom went to McAllen mall to shop for shoes for the New Year's Eve Ernst wedding. After that, Daniel met us with the kids at tbe arena. We got snowcones in the cute, but expensive cups, cotton candy, crowns, and popcorn. Hayes even wore his Jake costume. It was really cute and like watching a live episode! I think it was a fun gift for the kids and something they loved!
This was one of those Christmases that was unforgettable and simple and fun. I am so glad we stayed home and got to experience it in a low key 'normal' atmosphere for the kids. Nothing like baking, playing and relaxing on break with the family. It is truly magical!
