I looks like a toy store exploded in my house. We had a lovely Christmas this year. Christmas day we spent playing with the loot and eating at Dave and Natalie's house. But mostly, it's been really low key. Scott's probably been the most busy, only because he got a gun for Christmas and has been to the shooting range twice already and is planing to go again today! Ugh. I so don't like having that thing in my house. But he locks it up, so I guess I can't complain too much.It snowed pretty much the whole week of Christmas. I love a good snow storm, but that was a little excessive. Luckily, Scott was home for much of it, so I didn't have to clear the driveway too much. I know, whaa, whaa, I have a snow blower. It still takes effort.
The kids decided that they wanted to do an activity that represented the true meaning of Christmas. So for about three days, Regan and Hali worked on this:
It turned out pretty good, I think. There were only a couple of fights with Porter. He wanted to do more than the girls allowed him to do, which was pretty much nothing. As I was taking the picture of the little nativity scene, I noticed Hali lying on the floor next to me, so I turned the camera around and took a quick snapshot of the two of us.
It seems like I always have to take about 15 pictures of Hali, because she always BLINKS! She just can't seem to keep her eyes open with the flash going off. It like this big joke now, to see if Hali's eyes are open in any picture. So, we are laughing about her eyes again, and Regan says she has an idea on how we can keep Hali's eyes open and tells me to take another picture.
I just laughed and laughed. Get used to that look, babe, this may be how you will look in every picture from now on! By the way, the strange girl (meaning stranger not that she's strange) in the picture is our neighbor, Stephanie.
