Christmas

It is so sad to me that Christmas is already over. But the girls have been so happy, and keep saying this is the best Christmas they have ever had, so I am happy!
Alexis asked for a I-pod, a CD player, and glasses. (her friend Ashlynn had to get glasses and I guess some kids at school have made fun of her, so she said that is she got some fake glasses she could wear them with her and then maybe no one would say anything) (I thought it was very cute of her to think) So Alexis did get everything on her list and then some extra's and she was so happy.
Elizabeth asked for a Barbie and a Mermaid tale doll, and a American Girl doll. She also got what she wanted and then other things with it.
Brytlee didn't know what she wanted and didn't really ask for anything, but was very happy with the presents she got.
Ryan and I both said that we had the best present ever (THE HOUSE) and we didn't need to get anything for each other. I was happy because Ryan is the hardest person in the world to shop for. But the little stinker went and bought presents anyway......
We also had a lot of fun with our friends and family at our yearly party's. The girls loved all the party's and had so much fun running around with all the cousins.
I am a little sad that it is over, and just wish that it could last longer. I love getting together with the people that I love most, and playing fun games together. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family, on my side and on Ryan's side. They are always looking out for us and take such great care of us and our kids.
Now from months of preparing, and it only taking minutes to open all the presents, I get to clean everything up for day's and day's. I already have the tree down, but there is so much to catch up on. (laundry, dusting, kitchen, floors, getting ride of all the boxes, ect....) My girls are so busy playing with all the new toy's and having so much fun together I don't dare ask them to help me out today. It makes me feel so happy when they are happy and getting along together and just being kids.
(just as I wrote this, they started to fight..... I guess that teaches me to ever say anything good about my kids.... without knocking on wood first) Time to get to work!!!!
