a Crazy but Cool Christmas...

I cannot believe that I am sitting here typing, and 2 days have passed since Christmas. Our whirlwind experience began last Friday evening, and things have finally settled down. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed every minute of our fun filled holiday, but I have to admit that I am a bit tired! Caden said that this was the best Christmas that he has ever had, and I know that Carson and the girls would agree. Here are all the things we got to do (in order) since last Friday 12-21.

1.Fri. night...Frosty play at Casa Manana with Brenda, Chels, Colt, and Carter
2.Sat. at noon...Christmas lunch and gift exchange at Nana and Papa's house
3.Sun. at noon...Christmas lunch and gift exchange at Mo and Wiss's house
4.Mon. evening...Christmas dinner and gift exchange with Sam's side of the fam at John and Madonna's
5. Tues. morning...Santa at our house
6. Tues. at 11:00...Christmas at Grancie's house
7. Tues. at 3:00...Christmas dinner and gift exchange at Zach and Pebble's house

Whewwww! See what I mean we have been going nonstop. Sam always tells me that we need to have only a few places to go, and that we need to slow down, but then we would miss something! How blessed we are to have so many people that want us to spend the holidays with them! : )

WARNING.....MANY pictures (that are VERY out of order) will follow...
