Happy Festivus

There was a semi-old woman who had a camera,

She had so many pictures, she didn't know what to do,

She weeded them out as best as she could

Then posted them soundly and went to bed!

Sorry for the picture overload, yet another reason that I should be better at posting on the blog, but so much fun stuff has been going on, and catching up on some much needed sleep, has left me little time in the evenings to post!

This picture is Corbin after having met the concrete with his face while sledding on our front yard! He was hurting pretty bad! When he hit, his legs flipped up over his head, so his back hurt too, poor kid!

The Saturday before Christmas, we all went Ice Skating with Santa, it was free at the Murray Skating Rink, it was a lot of fun, but of course, when its free it is always fun!

It took Corbin a little bit to figure out how to skate, but he was having fun!

They even had skates that fit Kaylix, he didn't really love it!

Keegan on the other hand, LOVED it. When we would stop, he would say, GO, GO, GO

Chelsey was really good at it, she had a lot of fun!

All of us with Santa!

Then Sunday, we went to Nephi for our family party, again, a lot of fun!

Keegan does not love Santa, but Chris helped him out!

Corbin wanted a Jet Pack for Christmas, I kept telling him not to be upset if he didn't get one, because they don't exist!

I took Kaylix up, so I didn't get a picture of him on Santa's lap, but he really did not like him!

Chelsey and Santa having a chat!

All of them showing off what Santa brought them!

Then came Christmas Eve. We had dinner at my parents house with the whole family plus the Donoghues. It was a lot of fun, we played games and tracked Santa! Then my mom let the kids each open one gift.

Here they are with their presents from grandma and grandpa and their Christmas Jammies from the parents!

Then came Christmas morning: Santa was very good to my kids. There were many of Santa's helpers that had a hand in my families Christmas this year, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, my kids were so excited by everything that Santa brought this year, and I was humbled and blessed by all the things that Santa brought this year.

After seeing what Santa brought, we headed over to my parents house and opened gifts from the family. We all got a lot of good stuff, there was so much chaos going on that I gave up on trying to take pictures, so I will spare you here! After presents, we had breakfast with the Donoghues. Then everyone went to visit other family members. We went and ate at Grandma and Grandpa Wilkinson's house. It was a lot of fun to see the few people who were there. We hope that every one had a Merry Christmas! Then we went back to my parents house for some more grub. It is true that I put on 20 lbs that day!

So, there you have it folks, I know that is a lot of pictures, but there were so many more, I had to refrain myself from over posting! Maybe I will add some more later so this post can be done!

I really am grateful for all the things that we received this Christmas and for the love of my family who was so willing to help us give our kids a wonderful Christmas, there would have been nothing under the tree without your help. I love you all and appreciate you all more than you will ever know. Merry Late Christmas!
