Here goes.... it has been a long time since my last blog. Thanks to our generous Craig, my computer is working much better now! We had a pretty quiet Christmas Day. It was just the 5 of us at home this year. Kenyon and Collin woke up at 6:45 and waited for a whole 5 minutes before waking Nate up. They were very excited (to say the least). Some of the favorite gifts recieved were Kenyon's real glasses (she doesn't need them, but that is really one of the only things that she wanted), Nates skateboard, and Collins geo trax train (although the best part of the train is the brochure that he carries around with him everywhere he goes).
We went over to the California Roses for lunch and presents. Pam, Bob, Chris and his girlfreind Sylvia were there. The kids love going over to spend time with MaaPaam (Grandma Pam). We had lunch and the kids ran around outside and had a great time playing with the neighbors dog and Chris' dog Lily.
We had plans to be with Carly, Craig and Elliott for dinner, but sweet Elliott was sick from late Christmas Eve on. We missed him very much and hope he is doing better today!
For Christmas eve, Craig, Carly, Elliott, and our good freind Greg Giles came over. We had dinner and the kids put on a little show singing Christmas Bells and playing the bells. Scott and Nathan had gone on a shopping spree to the 99 cent store and we had a good time opening those presents. From gum to sling shots and a Spounge Bob hairbrush, many interesting gifts were given. Nate, Kenyon and Elliott had fun tracking Santa on the computer and then looking on the map to see where he was.
This year we didn't send out Christmas cards. Instead we will be emailing one out in a day or two.
Quotes about Christmas from Nate:
"I like it because we get to open presents and we get to get new stuff".
"Jesus was at Bethlehem. It's all about Jesus".
Quote from Collin:
Collin what did you like about this Christmas? "Apple juice, my present, this" (as he points at his "choo choo").
Quote from Kenyon:
"I like giving and going to other peoples houses and like celebrating with them".
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!

I was SOOO glad when I got on Janet's blog to see that you had done another. Your family is darling! I think it's funny for Kenyon to have wanted "real glasses." She won't want them if she ever really has to wear them. : ) Hope all is well. You can check my blog out, debijackson.blogspot.com
