This year we had such a good Christmas. I was starting to get worried and stressed toward the end. Tim was lucky enough to get a good bonus check form his work and we decided that we were going to use that to buy Christmas this year. We received the check four days before Christmas...that's right. I did all my shopping for everyone in four days. Not to mention our resources here in Pocatello are a little limited. Thank goodness Idaho Falls is only 45 minutes away. We made it none the less with no time to spare! I don't think I will be cutting it that close again:)
Christmas Eve I made a yummy dinner with ham, rolls, cheesy potatoes, jello and all the fixins. Usually we are with my family on Chrismas Eve but we really enjoyed our small family this year. We really wanted to teach the kids the true meaning of Christmas so we sat down and had the kids watch a sweet little video. Then it was time to open their jammies. This is a tradition my mom always did with us as kids and it is fun to carry it on with mine. We also let the kids exchange the gifts they bought for each other. Macee got a Unicorn Pillow Pet and Seth got a Spider man toy.

| Here are the kids in their Christmas PJ's |
 |
| We made Santa some yummy Oreos. Seth was so excited when he woke up and Santa had eaten two of the three cookies and drank all the milk ;) |
 |
| The children were all nestled in their beds.... |
Christmas Morning:
 |
| Seth really wanted a remote control excavator and everything else that may be remote control...and that is what he got! |
 |
| Notice how Macee is no longer in her Christmas PJ's...too much apple juice before bed. Aycarumba! |
 |
| Kids opening presents... |
 |
| Seth also got a remote control excavator. He was so excited about it! |
 |
| Macee got her a doll house! |
 |
| The only thing Macee would ask me or Santa for was Princess make-up....what the? Really? She is barely 3!!! She must have been a good girl because she got it :) |
 |
| Isn't she beautiful? |
The next day we headed to Utah to see the grandparents...where the kids got extra spoiled with legos, remote control trucks, bow and arrows, walking dogs, baby dolls, coloring stuff and much more. It was a great Christmas.
Hope you all had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!
