Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas holiday 2012 was!  I love my family...they are just fun!

This year Hagen is really into computer games, etc. so he got a Nintendo DS XL 3D and the xBox Kinect.  He loves them both!  It is so weird that he will just escape to another room and it is quiet...BUT I need to set some time limits even though the silence is golden!

Hazel is into Dolls, etc. so she got a little dollhouse, a cradle with a baby and some blankets, a ride on Minnie toy, and kitchen!  She is really into being a Mommy lately.  She just loves her babies and often is seen taking them for a walk around the house in the stroller...well, pushing the empty stroller while holding her babies.  She is octomom...she has like 8.

Christmas was cold and after the kids took their naps they woke up to a blanket of SNOW!  It was perfect!!!  It was way too cold to play in...plus it was pretty snow, but not the sticky snow for snowmen.

We spent Christmas Eve at Nana's this year and my newly single sister in law joined us (the girls were with their Dad).  It was going really well and then something was said (nothing major) and memories flooded back and she couldn't help but lose it.  She left earlier than she thought...she just needed to be alone and sad on the first holiday single.

We spent Christmas Day at my parents with Adam's family.  It was so fun but man...was it CRAZY!  Loud kids...nuts.  It will be nice when the girls catch up to playing quietly...we have a few years left of that!!

My Dad got Hazel a Mercedes sports car.  She loves it!  It is the cutest thing!  Silver...just like Pia's but hers is Black. 

We felt rushed on Christmas Day because the roads were pretty bad...but during dinner it was so pretty looking out the window at the new snow!!!

I'm so thankful for everything...it's been a hell of a good year!!
