It has been a LONG while....

I know that is has been a very long time since my last post. My lack of posts is due to many reasons but hopefully I will get better at than I have been.

My MIL has asked for pictures from Christmas so I will start with that for now.

The kids has a great Christmas this year. They had gotten way more than they expected. Each of the kids ended up with an iPod Nano each in a different color so that they know whos is whos. They got a few board games and movies and I think best of all, Matt and I got them a Nintendo Wii. You should have seen the look on their faces! Jacob just kept saying, "No way, No way!!". Luke enjoyed his present too. Jacob helped him this year since the girls help last year. He wanted to play with every present as he unwrapped it. He didn't understand that there was more! We had to literally take the present away and hide it so that he would move on and open another one.

This was our tree after Matt and I put out the presents. Notice Luke's Power Wheels Lil' Kawasaki. He LOVED that!


Jacob helped Luke open his presents.


Jacob and Hannah were so excited when they open their iPod Nano. They had wanted those for a while now.



Oh the excitement of the Wii!! It has been a great source of entertainment for us and any company we have had since Christmas. My Dad and Uncle got the kids Wii related gear for Christmas. They got games, MarioKart with four steering wheels and best of all (according to the kids) was Guitar Hero with two guitars. They have had the best time with that Wii.
Matt took this great picture of Noelle so surprised as Noah opened the Wii.
