Happy Holidays!!

Well I can't believe it but Christmas is over! But what a great Christmas we all had. I love Christmas so I have a lot of decorations, not those blow up santas that you see outside, but lots of inside decor :) I think that my family thinks I am a little weird but I don't care. I love it!!! The lights, the decorations, the smell of the tree, the FOOD!! This year we got a really cool gift for the whole family: A nintendo wii from my father and stepmom. What a fun present!!! I think we're getting addicted to it but thats alright. At least its a work out (and boy is it one!) We have been spending lots of time together bowling, playing tennis etc. But I enjoy giving gifts even more than getting them so it was a lot of fun watching my kids and husband open things that I had hidden away for quite some time. Shawn and I planned together to give Tori a sansa fuze (video/music mp3 player) and we're really excited to give that to her. But little did Shawn know that the kids and I had got one for him too! So I got to watch him play around with hers for weeks, and watch her be excited about giving him one, then see the looks on both their faces when they BOTH opened their present on Christmas morning. Fun! From Santa, Ben got a race track with two cars that make a lot of noise, and Matthew got a starfighter from Star wars and some action figures to go with it, and of course Legos. Melanie got clothes and gift cards which is exactly what she wanted. I got a really cool milk frother so I can make the hot drinks that I love to make all the time. (lattes, cappucinos, etc) Its a little one that fits right in the mug and froths up the milk in less than a minute. That was my favorite gift. Both Matthew and Tori got a really funny gift from their dad : a marshmallow launcher. HAHAHA!!! They put minature marshmallows in it and shoot them at targets.
I hope that everyone had a very merry christmas, and were as blessed and happy as we are!
