Christmas Was Great!

WOW! Christmas has once again come and gone. I will however have to say that this Christmas has to be one of my favorites! Christmas eve Darrin had to work part of the day. But later that afternoon when he got home we made the traditional cookies for Santa! That night was our Christmas party with my mom's side of the family. We have one every year, but this one was different. Many of the family were out of town or couldn't make it so we had a much smaller group of people. It was still tons of fun. We ate some yummy food {thanks to my mom} and played a white elephant game. We also exchanged some gifts, and the kids each got to open their jammies up from grammy and papa! Of course they had to put them on right away!

Enjoying The Party!
Me Having Too Much Fun!

Breann And Her Big Eyes!When the party was over we headed home to get ready for Santa. We got out the cookies and milk and then got ready for bed. We let the kids open 1 present from us that night. We got them Horton Hears A Who. They all slept in the girls room and watched the movie before falling asleep. It was an early night, I think they were all asleep before 10:00!The next morning I got up around 7:00 and the kids were still asleep! I started getting ready and then Darrin woke up. At about 7:30 the kids finally woke up. We headed downstairs and to my surprise Santa actually came! The kids got everything they wanted and then some!

Santa also hid a extra surprise under our tree this year. There was a big package under the tree that was marked "To the Haun children, Merry Christmas! Love, Santa" When the kids opened it up they were sooo excited! It was a Wii! Finally! There was also extra controllers and nunchucks. Each kid also had 3 games a piece inside the box. Madi got, Mario Party 8, Cooking Mama World Kitchen, and Hannah Montana. Kaiden got Super Smash bros. Brawl, Sonic and the secret rings, and Spongebob globs of doom. Abby got Littlest Pet Shop, Thrillville, and a Disney Princess Game! The kids also got Rock Band, Wii Sing It, and Ravin Rabbids tv party from us! Later that morning my parents came over to visit. They brought presents for the kids and us. They always spoil us! Me and Darrin got a new blue ray dvd player and a gift certificate to PF Chang's. The kids all got new blankets and toys! Once my parent's left we got ready and headed out to Payson to visit with Darrin's side of the family. They gave us our family pictures that we have been looking forward to, and gave the kids lots of fun toys! We visited for a while, and talked about what everyone got! The kids just kept bugging us to go back home so they could play with their toys. We finally gave in and went home. the rest of the night we had fun, relaxed and played and played. We went from opening up one toy right to another, until we finally told the kids we have to go to bed.

Darrin had the rest of the week off. We did a lot of this.........
