Kids got a karaoke machine

We didn't have snow all December and then Christmas morning it snowed a lot! Kids were thrilled. We spent quite a bit of time outside playing in the snow. Kids got some snow stuff for Christmas.

Jarel's parents came over to visit that evening!

Our Christmas was a great day. Lots of excitement in our house. Kids were thrilled with the presents they got. We spent our morning opening gifts and playing in the snow!
In the afternoon we went to my parents (so sad I didn't get any pictures) to visit with them and see my siblings. The kids loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa and their cousins. We visited, opened more gifts and had a good time.
That night Jarel's parents stopped by for a visit. Fun seeing them as well.
And before we knew it all our hard work preparing for Christmas was done with. We wait and wait and then the day is done. But it was a good day! Kids were in bed by 8:00! They got up at 5:45.
