Christmas

We had a great Christmas! It was just nice to be together for a change and have nothing else to think about. Christmas Eve, we had a nice dinner and then finally put up our nativity while we read the Christmas story.


Next were chimes. I have to say that we were pretty good at it! Even little Ava was doing good.


Christmas morning, the kids woke us up at about 8:20!! We were all tired so it was nice. We made them wait for us before they could come see their loot! Since we slept in a little we got to have Grandma and Grandpa Wahlstrom use their web cam to watch us open up gifts. That was cool.


The kids must have been good because they got what they asked for. Jerrod got an ipod nano, Allison got a DVD/VCR player for her room, Emma got a red nintendo DS, and Ava got Littlest pet shop stuff and make up.

Allison and Emma both got Guitar Hero for their DS so they lounged in their comfy sweat suits from Papa and Grandma and on their pillow chairs from Grandma and Grandpa almost al
day long!






Jerrod trying out his new ramp.
We'll have to get a new picture because he has gotten a lot braver!
