Chrstmas Wrap up

as you can tell by our pictures, we had a great Christmas. only a few mishaps

1. Jake was sick
2. Johnathan was sick
3. David was sick
4. John was getting sick!
5. and Johnathan fell on Christmas eve flat on his face on concrete and we thought he broke his nose!

other than that it really was great the kids had a great time. Christmas eve we went to Johns parents and then we stayed home all day on Christmas. it was great. so great we haven't really left the house since =) the kids are going a little stir crazy.

New years eve is tomorrow and it should be fun Johns parents and sister's and family are coming over and we will eat and play games should be fun.

I have lots of ideas for new things for the new year that I will share in the next few days. betcha cant wait?!?!?!?!?!

Day 6- play a game! the kids played cootie with dad which is his favorite!

Day 7 was go to see a big light display at our local zoo but it was raining so the kids watched Christmas movies instead.

Day 8- Pray for family and friends who don't know the real meaning of Christmas
