Christmas

I am a bit delayed in getting this post up, but I have been trying to get Ayden back on the mend from his surgery, so forgive me!!!

Christmas this year was great!!! We started out with heading down to Ida Grove on Wednesday afternoon, went to Christmas Eve mass, and then headed to my grandparents, Grandpa & Grandma Lansink's house...We had a great supper and had fun visiting and playing with cousins...we got some great gifts:) it was a great night...then we headed out to my parent's house, so we could get the kids in bed, but first we had to put cookies out for Santa!!!

In the morning, Santa had left just a few crumbs on the cookie plate and a LOT of presents for everyone to open:) We had so much fun opening, the boys and Ashley each got a new bike---those were from Grandpa and Grandma & they LOVE them--- other highlights include clothes, a drum set, a truck set & a VTech ABC toy!!!! the kids are in heaven:)

After all of those wonderful festivies we headed out to Sac City to my Aunt & Uncle's house where my aunt Janna was hosting the Spotts family Christmas!! How great to see everyone, it was so nice to play games, and of course the kids got more great presents!!! One might think that our children are spoiled or something!!! oh well, I guess Chrismtas is once a year!!! After some great snacks, we opened the presents and then had to head on for home, because of Ayden's surgery scheduled for early the next morning!!! We were sorry we couldn't stay for supper, I am sure that it was delicious!!!!!!!!!

When we got home, Santa had stopped here too!!!! The kids got a Kitchen & a Train set and table & some Cars laptops with learning games on them!!! Boy, Santa sure was busy...good thing he stopped here at our house with those, because there was NO WAY we were getting all that in the rental car that they gave us...a Nissan Altima...it barely fit the 5 of us!!!!! haha:)

So it was a great holiday, yet again!!! THANK YOU to everyone for the great presents, great food and great enjoyment that you gave to us this Christmas, it was wonderful:) Here are the pics from everything:) Enjoy!
