An Arvy Christmas

Before the wrapping paper storm! (I have to say that staying up late on Christmas Eve with Mikey watching 'A Christmas Story' is one of my favorite times!)
We had a great Christmas! Santa brought us plenty of fun and the kiddos were very happy! (btw-our kids decorated the Christmas tree this year! They were so excited and very helpful!)


Discovering the loot!

B likes his boots!
Amanda got a Camera! Unfortunately, it was broken and didn't come with a memory card (really?), so we e-mailed Santa and picked up a new one on the 26th. She is having a blast with it! Especially the video feature!
Sydney gets a DS! The girls have had fun 'pictochatting' I know...strange techy word!
Brando's nerf gun!
I gave Mikey clothes....just boring stuff that he needed....and his annual photo calendar of the kids. He and Brandon each got a remote control car that they had a good time with in the basement. Oh ya...and a ticket to the SUGAR BOWL!
He was thoughtful and bought me a new chair to use for piano...since mine is going to break any day now! And then a bag of potatoes....a slicer....a mandolin slicer and finally a deep fryer so we can have homemade fries....He fired up that puppy for breakfast and made some yum-o fries!

Santa also brought us some Wii games....we don't have a Wii and figured Santa got us mixed up with the neighbors.....

Hey Jill....looks like a fun christmas. I have to say that Amanda looks really old lately. Scary! How does that happen? Such a cute girl. Just much too young woman-ish!

One of these trips to UT, we'll have to plan a lunch meet-up or something. It's been a long time!! Glad for the blog!
