A Recap

I got this morning at looked at this mess of a house. It looks like there where 12 kids here instead of just three. We have gotten about 4 inches of snow last night with lots more in the next couple of days. Steve made it to Idaho OK, but it took an extra hour to get there. The highway in both directions is requiring chains. I am so glad I am not traveling today.

Let's start with Christmas eve. The mass was beautiful. I love how pretty the church looks and Father Hank is always fun to listen to. His only problem is that he gears so much of his sermon to the kids (really not a bad thing, because they actually listen to him) that he gets them all wound up. Jason and the choir did wonderfully. They where all so nervous, but they got over it quickly.
This is Jason and Kleena. They wanted me to take a picture of them.

The girl he is holding hands with is Sabrina, he even gave her a kiss but shhhhhh I am not supposed to tell anyone.

Steve made it back in time to do Alter Service.

We headed to go see National Treasure 2. Really liked the movie. Jason was a little bit bored but he really tried to follow it. We got home, put out cookies for Santa and to bed by 11. All 3 kids decided to sleep in our room. Megan and Anthony in sleeping bags on the floor and Jason cuddled in bed with us. We watched Christmas Story until 1am and fell asleep.

Up at 6:00am to open presents. Each kid got the one big thing they asked for. Jason unwrapped his shaker mp3 player and started jumping up and down screaming. All day long we have had the Guitar Hero 3, air hockey, robo dinosaur and shaker mp3 player (has outside speaker) going full steam ahead. Guitar Hero was what Anthony spent his day playing. Megan and Jason spent most of there time playing with the .88 slime Santa brought them. Megan helped unwrap the GH3 and said "I never wanted this." However, she has played it so much that she can play a couple of songs with her back to the tv. Watch out Andrew, she is good.
That's it for now, I am going to pack up some garbage and plow through the snow to the garbage cans. I am hoping that at some point today I will be able to see the carpet in the living room.
