We had a fabulous Christmas!! What a fun, magical time with the kids it was. We had many parties and celebrations, which started with Kenley's school party. They did their usual activities of singing, passing out treats, and had a visit from Santa. I met up with my old co-workers, and I got to meet Frank Thomas at a new sports bar that he opened in the area. It was so good seeing them, and its always a fun time attending the annual Christmas party. Ray and I also got amazing tickets to a Blackhawks game, and we were on the ice right next to the penalty box. It wasn't a good game, but it was fun being there.
Christmas Eve we went out to dinner with my mom's side of the family. We had another special visit from Santa, and we had 5 kids/babies here under 4. It's fun watching them all play together. Kenley was very into her preparations for Santa, and she made sure to sprinkle her "reindeer food" on the driveway and lay out the cookies and milk right by the fireplace. As soon as both kids were up Christmas morning, we headed down stairs to open our stockings and presents. Kenley was trilled with every gift, and Charlie seemed most happy about the sucker he found in his stocking. Kenley also couldn't get over the fact that Santa left daddy and Archie onions in their stockings. (Hahaa....)
We went to my mom's house for breakfast, and we had dinner at my mother-in-law's. We had a really great day, and we are so lucky that our families are close by so we can see everyone on Chrismtas. The kids were very spoiled by everyone in the family, and they got so many really nice toys, clothes, and everything else you could think of. It was great to spend the day with family, and we were all exhausted by the end of the day!
It was such a great holiday season, and tomorrow we are looking forward to spending our 4th New Years Eve with our friends, the Rose Family.
