Holidays

I have been such a blog slacker. Here is a quick update of our holidays. On Christmas Eve we went to my sister-in-law Tara & Chris' house. We had dinner,played games and spent the night. Christmas morning all of the adults were sitting on the couches waiting for the kids to get up. We had to actually send the dog into their room to wake them up. The kids got tons of cute clothes. Rees got an air pellet gun, Riley got lots of books, and Taylor got a new cell phone. We bought our nieces and nephew ski passes. I put them in these mazes you had to solve to get the tickets out. At the end of opening presents the kids were sent on a hunt for the last few hidden presents which were a Wii, Guitar Hero, and Rock band. After a Yummy breakfast, we set up the Rock Band. My sister-in-law Tara & I are not into video or computer games. We think our husbands should spend their free time with us :), so it was funny to see Tara get so into Rock Band. She hardly let anyone else on the drums because she had to keep "practicing." At about 10pm Colt says, "You guys realize we have been doing this for about 10 hours straight." WOW! I guess it can be a little bit addicting. Just for the record there was 8 of us alternating all day long. The week before Christmas, Seattle received record amount of snow. At our home we had probably about 12-14 inches spread out over the week. On Christmas Eve it started snowing and didn't stop for about 24 hours so we spent another night. It was alot of fun, and we are lucky to have family near by.
