Christmas '11

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It is always so nice having two weeks off with my babies, and it always goes by much too fast. Erin was able to come in town during winter break, and travelled with us to spend Christmas Eve in Tyler with my mom and Will. It's very important for the kids to wake up to their Santa gifts on Christmas day, so we decided to make the drive back in the middle of the night. And, yes, we were tired that next day. Tera, Scot, and Jaxx stopped by that morning to exchange gifts and watch the kids open their Santa gifts. Finn's big gift was a Powerwing scooter and Sloane got a play kitchen. Finn was amazed that our Elf on The Shelf, Sharkfin, didn't rat Sloane out on her shenanigans. My dad came to town later that afternoon, and we did another Christmas celebration. Finn and Sloane fought over Sloane's new roller coaster . It was definitely a hit. We got to spend the following days with my dad and sister, relaxing in Austin. i always get a little sad when Christmas is over...
