Christmas Wrap-up

Christmas was good this year. The kids were really happy with their gifts. My mom and dad, Jeff, Mandee, and their kids all were here for Christmas morning. I love seeing the excitement on Mandee's kids' faces on Christmas morning. My kids are not as excited about Santa coming anymore, so it's fun being with smaller kids. I still remember being so excited on Christmas morning, seeing the milk ring at the bottom of the glass and a big bite out of one of the cookies that we had left on the fireplace the night before. Jason, Lenna, and their kids came later in the day. It's crazy when we're all here. The youngest girl thinks that when we build a house that it should be really big so that they can come more often and not be as crowded. Of coarse, she isn't going to have to pay for the new house either.

This child is completely crazy about Tennessee!
All of the Kennedy cousins. Next year there will be one more thrown into the bunch!
Shelly, Jason, and Mandee sans make-up! Yikes!

We took all of the Christmas decorations down today and put them away. It's always strange to take the tree down and feel like our living room is huge. The kids have been playing the PS like crazy today. I've been singing high school musical songs all day. No, not with the microphone. Don't you know if my hubby caught me that he wouldn't hesitate at all to record it? ha ha I'd rather not. I'm sure I'll wait til the kids are at school and he's at work to pretend I'm the next American Idol.

I bought the chess set at the mall in the game area right outside of American Eagle. It is called the Chess Teacher.

Jason looks great! I haven't seen him in ages!! Tell him I said hello!

I was thinking the same thing as Bailey. Someone needs a house big enough to be able to seperate all the chaos. A room that's sound proof to watch t.v., one for the girls, one for the boys, and one for the rest of us to actually visit in. Oh! And one for Shawn to hide from all of us when it gets to be too much! hehehe!! I think we'd have to read the lottery. Oh...we don't believe in that.Shoot! No super size house this year.

Christmas really was great! Just too short.
