Christmas 2012






Another Christmas on the books.  Never a dull moment during the holidays.  We went to Nana and Papas house for Christmas this year.  We drove down the morning of Christmas Eve and drove home Christmas night.  It was so fun.  We went to mass Christmas Eve and had La Fonda for dinner.  Everyone scurried off to bed about 9 p.m. to get to sleep before Santa arrived.  Lizzy was the latest going to bed about 10 and got very anxious to go to sleep when she realized via the Norad tracker that santa was getting close to Az.  She fell asleep in record time.  All of the kids except Michael woke up at various times of the night, I think they were having trouble sleeping with dreams of Santa Claus coming down the chimney.  Everyone got great gifts.  It was a whirlwind trip but worth it to spend time in Yuma with Nana and Papa.  Michael had a blast too.  Some memorable gifts:
Lizzy - kindle fire, Markie - samsung tablet, xbox games Madden 13 and a war game, Bella - a mini tablet and art sets, Michael - anything with Hulk or Captain America.  Mark's favorite gift was a miller light hat with a bottle opener on it my mom gave him.  I liked my gloves I can text with on.  Fun had by all.  We are blessed to have so much.
