Our Christmas

The craziness of the holiday is finally over - or so it seems. We've had all of our get togethers, gone to all of the parties and are now ready to start back into real life. It's kind of nice to have Ty home this week before he starts school again. Here are some pictures of our week in review:

We celebrated Christmas Eve morning with my online friends at Chuck E. Cheese. The kids had a blast!Ty & Jake K watch Iain playing video games Vanessa and Sydney had fun climbing and going down the slide

Christmas Eve night was spent at Iain's mom & stepdads place. The kids were excellent but we could tell they were already starting to get worn out.

Christmas morning got off to a bit of a rough start. Ty woke up crying in his room that "Santa had eaten all his cookies!" He took a while to calm down and even once he saw all the presents that Santa had brough for him his first reaction was "I don't want a bike I want a real raptor". It took all we had in us not to put him in his room for the rest of the morning. He finally snapped out of it and was very excited when he finally did open what he considered a Raptor. (Phweff!- we weren't sure if he would accept the dinosaur we got him as a "Real Raptor" but it seems to have made him happy) Vanessa was thrilled with her Dora house.
