Merry Christmas to all!!
As you may have noticed we did not get cards out this year and I apologize for being a slacker. I am hoping to be back on top of things by next December :-) After all, it's just right around the corner.
This year was my first year off work in the past 4 or 5 years and we enjoyed every moment of it in LG with my family. We spent Christmas eve at my Aunt Maxine and Uncle Vic's home and always enjoy time with them. Their home brings back wonderful childhood memories for me. After sharing stories and laughs and stuffing ourselves with Chili and bread we went headed home to open the "Christmas eve jammies". Then we got back in the car and drove around town rocking out to Christmas music and looking at the beautiful lights. It always amazes me how much effort people put into their lights and decorations. Some beautiful, and some grizwaldy, but all fun to look at. So a huge thank you to those who took the time to decorate their houses for us to enjoy this Christmas season.
The next morning we were awakened by Lex at 5:57 informing us Santa did indeed come and left all sorts of stuff in our stockings. I think we were all out of bed by 7am enjoying the gifts the big red man graciously brought for us. The rest of the day we enjoyed my parents Christmas program at church, opening gifts and spending time with grandmas and grandpas and nieces and nephews. We all had a wonderful Christmas and loved all the gifts we were given and time spent together. The kids received kindles from Santa and are excited to start getting books for them. They also got bean bags, clothes, and new basketball bags from mom and dad, a guitar, wii game, candy, gift cards,and other fun stuff from grandparents. They were very grateful for all their gifts and for time with their cousins and grandparents. Another Christmas has come and gone and although I enjoy them, they unfortunately seem to come quicker and quicker each year. I have searched for ways to slow down time, but haven't come up with anything yet. If you have any ideas please let me know. Until then......
We Wish You All A Happy 2012!!

It was a wonderful Christmas having you home. We loved every minute of it.
Has Lex tried the guitar, yet? Anxious to be serenaded by her.
Love you all, lots.
