Christmas Day photos

Well, it's our first "snow" day of the season.  The district held out with two hour delays Tuesday and Wednesday.  And, it's not snow that's keeping us out of school, but the super-cold temps.  It's -2 out right now at 9:30 in the morning.  Hopefully, we can keep entertained.  Marcus just made pancakes for the first time and realized that you do have to use all the batter after you have made your own pancakes.  We have lots of games and the boys actually have a little homework they can do, too. Should be interesting.  It just stinks that it's too cold to go outside.  They, dog included, could use a good run to burn off some energy.

But, here, are some pics from our Christmas morning.  I worked the night before and the kids got to open their stockings before I got home (our Christmas tradition, according to Ewan).  They each got three under the tree gifts from Santa, a stocking present and a DVD.  They also had presents from family to open.  I think they had a great day.  The kids were happy with what Santa brought them.  I'm glad Santa was able to pull it together at almost last minute to get all the presents to the house.


Marcus is sporting his new Gryffindor tshirt.  He also got the rest of the Harry Potter movies we were missing.  We kind of like that stuff here.

just a picture of some of the present chaos.

Ewan, the artist, got a drawing thing. It looks cool.  

Kinley, was more pleasant than last Christmas-a gift itself.  She really likes her school bus that she got.

Cale got his fishing pole and tackle set.  He has been wanting one forever.  In fact, that lucky duck now has two, since his grab bag prize for selling popcorn was a fishing pole as well.

Kella is happy about a her new Frozen DVD from Grammy Linda.


Marcus got the guitatr he really wanted.  Now, he just has to learn how to play it....

Kella, modeling her new mermaid dress.

Santa brought everyone lego and/or robot building kits.  And, our table was covered for the next week with bits of buildings and people.


Some quiet time at the end of the day.  My guess is they are watching one of their new movies.
