Christmas day was very low key. We woke up and managed to hold the kids off till 7:30ish. Apparently I am the parent who takes ALONG time brushing my teeth, wiping away mascara, etc...or so I have been accused. The kids were VERY excited to find their stockings filled, presents left under the tree, and the plate of cookies full of crumbs (messy Santa).

Christmas 2011
Spencer loved his new McQueen & Francesco, they were a hit.
And his very own super hero cape like his brother & sister
Sometimes I am really not sure who is more excited for the new toys, the kids, or Ben!
This year Natali recived my old iphone. For the record the sim card has been removed and it's more of an ipod touch kinda thing. She LOVED it. You could tell she felt like a big deal. In this picture she is rocking out singing to a song!
Little Fudge SUPER excited for his M&M's.
The only consistant item Isaac asked for was a Superman guy! Lucky boy, he got it.
After opening presents we ate breakfast and basked in the utter destruction of our family room. The kids played and we slowly started getting ready for church as Ben left for the hospital (yay for being on call during the holidays). I wish I could say that that evening we had a nice meal to top off the night, but truth be told....I burnt it. I BURNT the pre-COOKED ham. Yep....I ruined Christmas dinner. Ben told me it wasn't that bad if you pretended you were eating jerky. But at least all the sides were yummy. It was a memorable...to say the least! Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve 2011
This holiday season was spent in the comfort of our own home. We had friends, food, and fun. We played a few games. One was a musical pass the present. When the music plays you pass the gift. When the music stops you unwrap a layer. Every time it came to Natali or Isaac we had to start chanting..."pass it, pass it, PASS IT."
Spencer with his "helpers" unwrapping the package on his turn.
Isaac ready to make his appearance in the nativity as a wise man.
The kids opened their new jammies and we were quick to send them off to bed! We had things that needed to be done :) A great Christmas Eve...minus Ben getting called into the ER at 11:10pm.

Little Handprints
The house the quiet. The kids had made their way to the backyard. They were busy!
They rubbed their hands in the wet grass, rubbed it on the chalk...
...and left their mark, ALL over the side of the shed!

Gingerbread Houses
Earlier this week we made ginger bread houses. It served 2 main purposes 1). it gave us something to do over this long Christmas break & 2). it was an attempt to help me get out of my ba-hum-bug mood. Not sure how succesful it was on the later, but the kids seemed to REALLY enjoy themselves.
Spencer never made it past the frosting really. At one point I saw him licking the roof of the house.
Isaac ate more candy than any one 4 year old should eat. But look at that smile!
