Christmas 2014

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We had a pretty awesome day here. The kids slept in until nearly 6:30 for the first time ever then Grandma Braska was able to Skype in for seeing what Santa brought and to watch us open presents.  Here's what Santa managed to bring for the kiddo's.

 For Caleb: Skylanders Swap Force and 6 new characters and some storage containers. 2 New Mario 3DS games and an NFL Rush board game. Along with lots of fun goodies in his stocking.

 For Faith. A new dolly with a horse, a princess night gown, a Minnie Mouse 4 wheeler, a Cinderella doll and dress, a Doc McStuffin's doll and stethoscope, a Snow White Little People's house, a Minnie vacuum and 2 new movies. And lots of stocking goodies.

For the twins to share: Disney Infinity and characters and storage bag, 2 movies, Planes bath stuff and some hand propelled rockets. Then each received a football dress up set along with 3 new dress up costumes each. Erector sets, 2 Hot Wheels Lego sets and stocking goodies.
They had a good time checking everything out while Grandma watched on and Mike and I went through our stockings. Mine was filled with mostly candy and Mike's had a bunch of fun Superman stuff in it and a new CD along with candy of his own.
Then it was time to sort and open presents. We got loads of new stuff from everyone and the kids made a great haul (too much to remember and list). Thanks everyone! Along with some Christmas cash and gift cards. Then I made a yummy baked French Toast and bacon breakfast to feed everyone which they loved. 
Here's some more pics from the day of us trying out our new stuff and playing the rest of the day away. 

Here's a pic of the mayhem in our family room. Both a small fraction of the box mess and the playing all day mess.

It was such a great day then I managed somewhere in there to cook a nice ham dinner and we ate together in the formal dining room where I got to try out my new Dallas Cowboys wine glasses Mike gave me.

I was a great day indeed and even greater that it continued into Saturday when this present arrived late in the mail to me from Mike.

I love it and had been eying this exact one on their website for quite some time. So excited to wear it and show it off.

What a great, great year! Thanks to everyone that made it possible.
