Merry Christmas

Oh what a day! I am so tired. I am going to start waking up the kids at 2 a.m. instead of going to bed at that time and then being woken up at 5 am. I just can't function that early! Oh it was a blast at our house though...it snowed all night... none of it stuck on the ground though. Kurt made breakfast, eggs and country potatoes with toast. And then the kids were back and forth all day from here to the neighbors house. We crashed their house at about 6:30 to bring their gifts...I was giong to make them go a little earlier, but Kurt was afraid they weren't awake? anywhoo, there was lots of lounging, and lots of treats, and good food. We ate with our neighbors at their house. We both made prime ribs, shared salads and potatoes and pies. Then watched a movie while the kids played. Kurt and Ellie fell asleep of course - both are cursed with the Evans tradition of falling asleep when the dvd player comes on. Then it was time for bed and Charley loved it because she wore her Ariel jammies to bed last night, all day today, and now is asleep in bed in her favorite nightgown EVER! She had a bath and put them on again, so she now is obsessed with her pj's. Crazy kid.
some of what they got this year -

Jackson- PSP games, PS2 games, new airsoft gun with ammo, BYU sweatshirts, and the NEW D Will shoes...oh you should have seen his face!

Emma - MP3 player, i-home Stereo, CD's, lots of clothes, jewelry, hair stuff, a puppy in a purse, and littlest pet shop toys. - she is in heaven.

Ellie - (who is the hardest one to shop for just so you know) Chuck taylors, skateboard, some new pants, A new leapster didj, and 2 didj games. She hasn't stopped playing with the didj in her new shoes and pants on her skate board all day....its a good day.

Charley - Ariel movie, Ariel toys, Ariel leapster cartridge, horse and carriage, dora and horse set, hair stuff, and tea set! She absolutely loves her stuff - she was a little overloaded this morning...not really sure what to do or say...she just looked around with her big green eyes bulging out at all the treasures!! She loves her gifts!!

Kurt - (we didn't do much for eachother) Some tools for the shop, and a shirt

Michelle - money and washclothes (ok, the washclothes I got for myself from him because I wasn't sure if there would be any physical gift under the tree and I didn't want the kids to think that mothers don't get presents, but he came through in the end! he always does!)

Thanks grandmas and grandpas for the awesome gifts!!! We are soooo BLESSED to have such great people in our kids lives. I am extremely grateful for the thoughtfulness of each gift and extremely grateful that you go through so much to get them here for our kids. They don't know how good they have it!

We wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

xoxo- Kurt and Michelle
