CHRISTMAS WAS FULL OF......

I think my husband described it best;  Christmas was FAST AND FURIOUS.

It was..... full of impatiently asking "Can we open now? Can we open now?? CAN WE OPEN PRESENTS NOW?"

It was..... full of happy faces!

.... and LOTS and LOTS of excitement.

..... paper flying everywhere.  (Seriously, most of my pictures were just blurs!)

...... SUGAR consumption.  (See my last post.)

..... frantically unpackaging, unboxing, un-zip-tieing,  assembling - assembling - assembling.  Santa may have been in trouble with Dad for getting some not-so-easy-to-put-together gifts.   Opps.

...... pure glee!


..... wishing we had snow.  (Dylan got a cool new sled and Chase, a snowboard.)

..... lots and lots of gaming. 

....... guitar jamming.

....... bullets flying!   (Those guns come with eye protection for GOOD reason!)

...... injuries.  (Seriously, it only took 2 minutes before we had screaming and crying.)

....... working on our sharing skills.  (This is Dylan's new Easy Rider.... he had a complete melt-down when we insisted that he let brother try it out.  And then Chase had a complete melt-down when we made him give it back!)

..... more SUGAR consumption.

........ SUNSHINE!

...... trying out the new toys outside.  (On Christmas Day?  In Chicago?  This is crazy!)

...... tradition.

..... Christmas pretties.

.... celebrating with Family.

.......Good FOOD.  Too much good food!

.... another round of presents.

..... kids that couldn't sleep that night.  (I suspect over stimulation from TOO much gaming!)

...... all things Christmas.  Just as it should be. 

Ours was fantastic.  And I hope yours was too!
