Christmas at the Andersons, Andersons and Coles

It comes a lot faster when you are trying to enjoy your break. So Christmas Eve was spent at Grandma and grandpa Coles making gingerbread houses. The boys did a good job. Christopher ate more then he put on his house but oh well. The day had finally come and the kids could not have been more excited. Matthew especially! We have never gotten him to bed so easily. I think he fell asleep in about 5 minutes. We awoke to the glory of Santa Claus who is getting smarter about what and how much to buy for the kids. He did pretty good this year, still over budget but not too bad. The kids loved everything they got. We then got to go to Grandma and grandpa Andersons for more presents, according to Christopher only 2 more presents though. Once again a great time as they got more toys that they wanted. Then off to Grandma and grandpa Coles were we made them wait until after lunch (gingerbread house candy, cookies and whatever else they could find) to open presents. The best part of that was when Matthew opened up the Walle from them. Holy crap! I have never heard him screach like that. After presents I took Matt and Christopher home to sleep and went back and played games with the family. We spent the rest of that day and the next 2 days just relaxing and eating and watching TV. Wow I love being lazy. Matt however is hard at work. He has kept up keeping the house clean and trying to pass some kidney stones. I can't wait for New years but I am sad cuz my break it almost done.
