White Christmas!

   We woke up Christmas morning with presents under the tree and were blessed with a white Christmas for the second year in a row. The wind was horrible this year so there was no sledding but without the crazy wind the roads would have been horrible and we would not have made it to our family get together with Honey(my Mom).
   Bailee was up by 7 am like normal but poor girl had to wait on her brother to wake up and he did not do that until about 8:30. So she was in our bed trying to talk us into going and waking him up. The kids both got exactly what they asked Santa for this year. I love being blessed with such a hard working husband that we were so excited for Christmas to get here so he would not be so busy. For those of you that did not know Kurt builds toys(will add a link at the bottom to check them out.) so from Thanksgiving until Christmas he works lots of hours. He worked so hard this year and not only made others kids Christmas wishes come true with the toys he builds but our our kids were able to get a little more than they usually get. Bailee got her first American Girl Doll and JP got his spider man boots. Bailee has asked for almost 4yrs now for and AGD but there was no way possible and this year that dream came true. The doll has gone everywhere with us. I loved seeing her face light up when she discovered it was an actual American Girl Doll. JP was so excited to get his spider man boots he has been asking for them for over a year. One reason he has not gotten them is his foot was not big enough for the smallest size they make but finally he has grown enough that they finally fit. I think he hugged them more than Bailee hugged her doll.
      We had a great time with both of our extended families. Bailee and JP love cousin time. Watching them with their cousins reminds me of the excitement when I was young of the holidays and spending time with my cousins. Love seeing my kids making the same memories with my nieces and nephews. Oh, to be a kid again and to have that Christmas magic light in your eyes.
       Tomorrow we will ring in the New Year with some friends. We have been blessed to grow closer to so many friends this year. There is nothing better than having friends you enjoy spending time with. Makes life so much more fun.
      Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and prayers for a Blessed New Year!!  http://www.thehappytoymaker.com/
