Christmas 2010

Wow it has been forever again since I have written on here.  I am hoping that I will get better at this slowly at least as I have less kids at home:)  We had a really different Christmas this year staying here in Texas, but it also was really good.  It didn't feel like Christmas in some ways but getting to spend time together all day Christmas without running around and getting to do things the way I would like was REALLY nice.  We opened our presents slowly so everyone could see and we actually got to play with them and put them together, normally they can't open them up there since we would lose parts. 
We went and cut down our tree this year at a new place, that had a big sand hill you could sled down that the kids loved.  They also had big hay bales to run around on which the boys LOVED they were trying to jump across the big holes and we all had a blast.  It was so hot that we went for icees afterward at Sonic.
We also went to the Christmas tree lighting downtown this year that was a lot of fun.  Santa was suppose to repel down the side of the building and got stuck and lost half of his outfit which was kind of funny and a lot annoying to have to explain why he had black hair!  I took the kids to eat a few times during break of course once to Chuck E Cheeses with our good friends the Molinas.  We were invited to their house on Christmas Eve and it was a ton of fun, Helder made some great Venezuelan food and great company!  We also got to go the movies and watch Tangled which was a ton of fun, we never get to go since it is so expensive with the 6 of us. 

All in all we just had a really low key wonderful Christmas!
