Busy getting into the holiday spirit

We took the kids to see Santa and this was the first year no one cried!!  The kids are growing up and they are no longer in need of mommy to sit on Santa's lap with them...I think that's a good thing

Emmy got picked up last week early from school by Auntie Amber who took her for a smoothie and then helped Emmy and Andrew make cookies for Xmas.  Although the story I heard was that auntie ended up making the cookies and Emmy and Andrew played.  Gabe had to get in on the fun and snuggle into a sleeping bag next to Emmy as well.  Andrew was pretty excited in the morning and woke Emmy up around 5:30.  The next day Emmy took her first nap in about 7-8 months!

The kids got some new toys through the mail for Xmas (we aren't sure who Secret Santa is yet) but they were excited and LOVED the new toys.  Bobby got to work doing some heavy lifting with his crane....Emmy's purse.
