{Christmas Time}

Our Christmas Break was a lot of fun. The boys have to go back to school today, and i am actually kind of sad about that. We've been having a lot of fun together. We love to play games and it seems like our Christmas vacation was filled with TONS of UNO.  Here are a few pics from our Christmas break. Im sad because i didn't have my camera for a few other fun things we did, like going to the Itoman Lights and watching Tanner do some caroling with a few of his kindergarten classes. Ohhhh it was so cute!

For our Christmas break the boys played lots of Pokeman...

 We went up to Okuma Resort with a few friends of ours, the Cartiers, Carrolls and the Lowes. Everytime we go we love to ride these little bicycle buggies...

 This is a great spot to look out over the ocean!

 We did the batting cages...

 And the kids got in the water and played on the beach....this is just a few days before Christmas people! :)

 Jaydon let Elise bury him. He didn't budge. He acted like he was chained down or something. He started getting sand in his eyes, but wouldn't move! haha! Elise is his favorite friend. He tells us that he loves her, often.

 Christmas morning playing one of their new DS games...

 Jaydon was more than thrilled to get a new bike!

 The boys received TONS of ninjago legos this year. Shane pulled out the card table and spent lots of time putting together their lego planes and such.

 They loved their double sided light sabers that santa brought all of them.

 Gavin's NEW set of scriptures that he got for his Birthday!!!

 Tanner got a ipod shuffle. He loves listening to his music!

 One of the cook ninjago motorbikes for his ninjas...

Christmas Eve we read a few Christmas books, the usual Bible version of Christmas, and acted out the Nativity Scene.  The boys came knocking on our door at about 1 a.m. in the morning, asking if it was time to open presents yet. We said, no, and told them to go back to bed. They came in at 4:30 a.m. pounding on our door again to see if it was time to open presents. We said, no, and to go back to bed. We couldn't go back to sleep so we got up and were opening presents at 5 a.m. Crazy! i know! It is soooooooooo fun watching the boys open their gifts. Its the best.

Christmas was a good one with lots and lots of fun had by all. We went to our friends home for Christmas Dinner with a few other friends. It was good food!  A few days before Christmas we went to see the Itoman lights. We didn't spend much time their this year. I recall last year being better, probably because it wasn't sprinkling on us the whole time.  I watched Tanner and a couple of his kindergarten classes sing songs to everyone at the BX. Unfortunately , i didn't have my car(long story) and so i didn't get pics. I am sad about that.  We played tons of games together over Christmas break. It was fun and i was ACTUALLY sad to see  the kids go back to school. weird. ;)

We are so excited for this new year. I have a feeling there is lots in store for us this year. :)
