The kids had a GREAT Christmas break but I was not a VERY good mom and didn't get pictures!!! So I will just tell you what they got to do and I will share one FUNNY video with you. With Steve working Weekend the weekdays have been filled with sledding, playing basketball outside with the NEW hoop and balls that the kids got for Christmas. Hours having Wii playing!! And lots of movies, I love watching movie and the movie theater. (Steve not a BIG fan) We got to see two movies with my parents and one movie with friends!!! This was the first year that we let the kids stay up for New Year's and they had a BLAST, we watching movies and then right before midnight we got all dressed up in winter clothes grabbed so pot and pans and some poppers and head outside. It was a lot of FUN watching the kids CELEBRATE the new year.
The video is of the kids celebrating outside!!! The video is REALLY dark sorry!!!

I was pretty much a slack at blogging while I was there but it was fun to catch up and see your cute pictures! It was so fun to see you guys and I can't wait until next time!
Dad and I had a very exciting new year, too! Sleep!! Looks like the kids had a great time. Thanks for a fun holiday season.
Looks like your household accomplished a lot during 2008. I'm sure it will be equally busy for 2009.
What a great idea to write it all down! Not sure I will get that far...I still have not accomplished the daunting task of posting about Christmas!
It sounds like you guys were busy but had tons of fun. Thanks for the invite:)
How fun! This is the first year we let our kids stay up too. And then we couldn't stand it and had to let the 2 little ones go off to bed.
Isn't amazing, when you look back, to see how much you accomplished, experienced, etc in one year! Sounds like yours was a good one...it's always fun to catch up and see what's going on with you and your cute family!
Sounds like a great year! It also sounds like you've got a great memory! Thanks for sharing your year with us.
What fun to read your recap, and as I did, the part about you turning 31 glared at me, you cannot, I repeat cannot be that old, I think I am just barely 30 myself and your Mom would be even younger than that! Time passes too quickly, thanks for sharing!
