i was absolutely not into the holiday spirit this year. in fact, if we didn't have children, i would have opted to skip it altogether.
i'm so glad we didn't.
it was a really, really nice christmas. it was the slowest paced one we've ever had in our 6 christmases together, and we were so thankful. here are some pictures of our christmas morning:
we bought a fake tree this year.
wow.
A LOT less hassle. i did miss the smell of a real tree, but not enough! =P
ali's 1 had-to-have-it gift, baby alive;
a fairy hair styling set for sissy
they each opened a new bedding set, too.
(seriously? i had no idea that bedding was so stinking expensive for even kids!)
we had them sleep on their toddler bed mattresses on the floor in jaxon's room
the night before. the reason?
new beds!!
she was shocked! =)
there was no disputing who got which bunk
this picture right here repeats itself about 100x / day
max finally woke up and enjoyed his first christmas:

i'm with ali, a "baby alive" is a MUST! i remember doing the same with a water baby.
i'm SO glad you were able to have a relaxing and enjoyable christmas. :)
our husbands are twinkies. leave it to them to put on jeans on christmas morning! drew does it every year. and i'm happy to see you in a picture, woman! beautiful kiddos :)
We bought a fake tree this year too. I don't regret it at all. I just burn a Yankee candle scented like a Christmas tree to make up for the smell.
