Let's see so much to catch up on...The last day of school didn't happen because we had a snow day. Well, really it was an ice day. It was also VERY cold outside. The kids and I got to stay home and prepare for the holiday week ahead. The Saturday before Christmas, Dane and I gut tickets from my co-worker Bryan to see the Browns play in Cleveland. it was COLD!!! I think with wind chill it was -4º. The Browns didn't play very well, but we had fun! We cuddled up under a blanket. After the first half, there was a mass exodus from the stadium. By the middle of the 4th quarter, there were less than 3,000 people in the stands. Very sad.
So, Christmas was so much fun! The kids were happy with everything Santa brought them. Andrew did ask for 10 or so video games, but he understands that Santa can only afford so much, so he was cool with it. we asked Sarah if she got everything she asked for, and she said, "Santa brought me stuff I didn't even know I wanted!" So she was happy. Dane and I decided since money is tight this year, we wouldn't buy for each other this year. That was OK, I did kind of miss shopping for him, there was so much stuff I found for him to get. We had so much fun watching the kids open their presents this year, it didn't matter that we didn't get presents!
We had so many Christmas parties, the kids were overly excited. Saturday before Christmas we were at the Klueber's (my mom's side). My mom's sister from Seattle was there, that was nice. We brought the Wii so my Aunt Cheryl could show my Uncle Chris how much fun it was and to help talk him into letting them get one. On Tuesday, we were with Dane's side of the family at Cyndi's. It wasn't as exciting as it usually is, but it was kind of nice to be with family, even though Dane's mom didn't see it that way. she was too upset that she couldn't go overboard on gifts for the kids this year to enjoy herself at the party. Christmas Eve there were 2 parties. We were at Dane's dad's for a little, and then met my mom, dad, and sibs at Justin's place. Andrew got his favorite present that wasn't a video game from his Aunt Beth. One of those little R/C helicopter things you see in the mall. He's having so much fun with it! We were at my Aunt Ann's house later Christmas day with my dad's side of the family. It's nice to see my cousin Lisa and her family. I wish we could see them more. We found out that Matt is finally getting married soon. he met a girl from the Philippines and she's moved to Hawaii with him. Can't wait to meet her.
There was so much ice on top of the little bit of snow we've gotten, that the kids have been a little upset we haven't been able to go sledding yet this year. But today it was 60º outside, so they had fun chopping the ice from the driveway and being out in only their sweatshirts.
We saw "Bedtime Stories" with the kids today. VERY funny movie. The kids loved it!
