MERRY CHRISTMAS...infidels!

Alright so that's a take off of Jeff Dunham's Achemd the dead Terrorist. If you don't know who he is..google him, watch Comedy Central or you tube! Which ever way, you must watch him! Funny as all can be! We even let the kids watch him...and reminded not to repeat some of the things, but it's all in good fun.

So how was your Christmas?? Let me back track to Christmas Eve, Keith and I are are waiting for the kids to go to bed so we can bring out the presents. We're sitting down stairs printing off some stuff and Kaden comes running in with a bloody nose, ugh! Good thing we didn't have anything important out! We get him taken care of and back to bed he goes. And again Keith and I wait for them to fall asleep...which takes FOREVER! Can't blame them, they were so excited, it's like they ate a whole bag of pixie sticks.

Finally asleep we bring out the "invisible wrapped" presents. One reason for a one level house...don't have to carry the stuff downstairs...or heck upstairs to begin with. But Keith was a good sport about it all! We even were able to be asleep by 11pm!! Woo Hoo! Too bad we slept like crap due to both of us having colds. One would get up to drink or blow their nose and it's wake the other one up. Toss and turned all night, horrible! And then Keith's work phone went off at 3am! That woke everyone up! I could hear the kids up talking for a while, and finally I went back to sleep. Thankfully he did not have to go out!!

We left a note for the kids that wake up time was 6:30am. So up we got...not happily, I wanted more sleep! But I can remember being a kid on Christmas morning how exciting it was, so I knew they were busting at the seams and would explode any moment if we kept them upstairs! I took my place in the living room by the tree with the digi camera and Keith ahead of them with the video camera taping their every move. They came running in and went crazy over the presents! We had gotten them new skateboards but didn't wrap them, so those were the first to be seen!

They were looking at all the names on the presents and couldn't figure out where Santa's presents were. Uh oh, maybe they were on the naughty list?? Keith and I were laughing so hard and let them go until we finally told them to turn around! They had been facing the tree, but behind them was the Santa presents and stockings! DUH! Silly kids! Not sure how they could miss such a HUGE box!

We let them open the stockings first and then Santa presents and then made everyone take a break to have some cinnamon rolls for breakfast, yummy! Kids were too excited to eat more than one, but Keith and I had our fill! Then it was back to opening presents! Lots of "oh yeahs" and "Yes it's what I always wanted!" and "THANK YOU!". We didn't do any rhyme or reason with opening, we just let them go at it. Keith and I opened our gifts after they were done. To mix it up a bit I opened Keith's gifts and he opened mine. We had decided to buy ourselves our own presents, and this way the other person would see what we got since we would already have known. Except we decided that too late when I had already bought Keith and bunch of stuff, so I knew what he was getting and he had some ideas on my stuff. Might try it next year...start earlier and get more of a surprise.

After present time, Salem went to a new DS game he got and stuck with that for quite some time. Kaden bounced from one toy to another wanting to play with each one...but only for a short time. His favorite it seems was his Hawkeye helmet and outfit. That stayed on the whole day. He wanted to sleep with it on, but I said no. I'm sure it'll be on first thing in the morning.

Alright I've gone on enough...busy day...Keith got called out at night, not gone for long. Dinner was yummy, ate too much! Kids went crazy didn't want to sleep, ended up watching Star Wars 1 before bed. Freezing rain is now falling, time for bed!!! So Merry Christmas to all...and to all a Good Night!!
